Borrego Community Cleanup Moves to Earlier Summer Start Time

Share

Neighbors helping keep Borrego beautiful, one cleanup at a time.

Residents are invited to help keep Borrego Springs looking its best during the monthly Borrego Community Cleanup, held on the first Saturday of every month.


Volunteers meet at Christmas Circle before heading out on foot or by vehicle to collect litter in nearby areas. The Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce provides trash bags and litter pickers, making it easy for anyone to participate.


With warmer temperatures arriving, the June cleanup will begin earlier at 7:00 a.m. to provide a more comfortable experience for volunteers.


Community cleanups are a simple way to give back, connect with neighbors, and help preserve the beauty of Borrego Springs for residents and visitors alike.



Summer cleanup schedules may be subject to change. For the latest information, contact Marcy Yates at (760) 767-4287.
