Summer community cleanups announced

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Beautification Alliance has announced its schedule for summer group cleanups, in and around Fallbrook. FBA’s program Keeping Fallbrook Litter Free encourages all residents to get involved in some way in keeping Fallbrook’s roadways and riverbed free of trash.

The KFLF program challenges participants to pick up at least one 5-gallon bucket of trash, in and around their neighborhood, place of business or workout area, each week.

In addition to individual trash pickups, KFLF also sponsors monthly group cleanups in particularly trash-filled areas.

The group cleanup schedule for this summer includes Don Dassault Park, 832 Alturas Road, from 9-11 a.m., Saturday, June 29; Margarita River Trail, which will meet at the small parking lot at Sandia Creek, from 9-11 a.m., Saturday, July 27; Ingold Sports Park, 2551 Olive Hill Road, from 9-11 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 24.

To get to Santa Margarita River Trail from Fallbrook, take DeLuz Road north to Sandia Creek and continue on Sandia Creek. The small parking lot is on the right, before Rock Mountain Road.

All ages of volunteers are welcome, and they should bring their own reusable buckets, gloves, pickers and water to help minimize the accumulation of added waste.

Anyone interested in this program or any of FBA’s efforts to help clean Fallbrook can visit http://www.fallbrookbeautification.org or attend the next quarterly meeting of KFLF which will be held at the Fallbrook Public Utilities District boardroom, Monday, Aug. 12, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at 990 E Mission Road in Fallbrook.
