Neighborhood Cleanups

 

Since 2014, Imperial County Community & Economic Development contracted with Republic Services (Allied Waste) to conduct community cleanup activities with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in the unincorporated communities throughout the Imperial County.  The program includes several key components.  First, 40 cubic yard roll-off bins are set up at a centralized location in each community to allow residents to actively participate by disposing of their waste.  Second, a crew operating a dump trailer to assist senior citizens and disabled persons is driving around the community.  Third, with the assistance of the Imperial County Sheriff’s Department, an inmate crew is tasked with clearing alleys, right-of-ways, and properties that are deemed a health and safety threat to the community.  Due to the scope and size of the project, it is also necessary to utilize a backhoe/front loader to assist with loading the bins.  Finally, a household hazardous waste disposal day is held on the Saturday of each event.

To date, Neighborhood Cleanup programs have been completed in the communities of Bombay Beach, Niland, Palo Verde, Seeley, Salton Sea Beach, Desert Shores, Salton City, Winterhaven, Heber and Poe Colonia.  In total, 527 roll-off bins were filled during the Neighborhood Cleanup Programs.  Approximately 5,609,140 pounds of waste were collected (not including tires and electronic waste collected).  Finally, with the assistance of Imperial County Environmental Health Services, funding was secured from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to combine with CDBG funding.  Approximately $120,700 in household hazardous waste was collected and taken to a special facility to be properly disposed of.
