Earth Day is next Saturday, April 22nd, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by helping to Beautify Goleta. The City of Goleta wants to remind you to volunteer with us from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. to help clean up three of Goleta’s open spaces: Stow Grove Park, Lake Los Carneros or Ellwood Bluffs. The park locations also include the surrounding neighborhoods. We hope you will participate in this special Earth Day edition of Beautify Goleta. As a thank you, each volunteer will receive a colorful Beautify Goleta t-shirt and a reusable Plastic Free Goleta cutlery set (while supplies last)! Sign up now at www.CityofGoleta.org/BeautifyGoleta.
The Beautify Goleta event also includes a free bulky item drop off for all community members. Bring your unwanted items to 6237 Cathedral Oaks Road near Stow Grove Park, our spotlight cleanup location, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Don’t miss this chance to start your spring cleaning. Please review acceptable items in the details below.
