Stockton, CA – San Joaquin County residents, businesses and local organizations are invited to participate in upcoming clean-up events throughout the year to help clear litter and debris from community locations and waterways. The events are led by the San Joaquin County Community Development Department, which staffs, coordinates, and supervises the events. Other participating County departments include Public Works and the Sheriff’s Department Community Corps, which provide personnel to assist with loading and unloading items.
“We are extremely pleased with the tremendous pride residents have shown in their communities through clean-up efforts each year,” said San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors Chair, Miguel Villapudua. “In just the first two months of 2024, over 50 tons of garbage has already been cleared by local volunteers in San Joaquin County. This helps dramatically reduce the amount of trash and blight in our communities, improves the quality of life for residents, businesses, and visitors, and makes San Joaquin County a beautiful place to live, work, and play.”
