Taking pride in our community!

6th ANNUAL OVERLAND PARK CLEANUP!!! What a wonderful opportunity for those interested in cleaning up their yards and brightening their neighborhood.

Residents from the Overland Park and Milwaukie were invited to rid themselves of unwanted items. Scrap metal, old tires, appliances, work, and yard debris were accepted at no charge. Many thanks to Sherri Dow of Clackamas County for organizing the event.

Residents were able to bring their items to the dumpsite located off of Johnson Creek at Crosswhite Business Center between the hours of 9:00 am until 1:00 pm. People were lined up by 8:30 am for a free shot at dumping all types of debris. Drop offs were easy. There were many stations set up to easily drive up and unload your load. All stations even had volunteers to help in unloading the vehicles.

This is the lot the Coalition cleaned up on Sunday 10/19/2003. The rain held off long enough to get the work completed. Here is proof and satisfaction needed to become a volunteer. Thank you for those who showed and got their hands dirty. Heck we even had spectators walking around, guess they wanted to look involved. Hats off to all who worked. GREAT JOB!
