FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The City of Porterville would like to remind residents about the Spring Community Clean-Up Event. The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 20, 2024 from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. City of Porterville residents will be able to participate in the City sponsored event with a current refuse bill as proof of residency. In order to encourage property maintenance and community beautification, the City will offer residential refuse customers free disposal of general trash, bulk items, woodwaste, yard clippings, and e-waste at the City’s Corporation Yard (555 N. Prospect Street). Business or commercial waste is not allowed, and trailers will be limited to no longer than ten (10) feet, with participants own vehicle. For more information on this event or to view the flyer please visit the city’s website at www.ci.porterville.ca.us.
In order to further assist the community beautification efforts, The City of Porterville would also like to remind residents about keeping clear sidewalks and curbs. Please remember to not block sidewalks with refuse cans, basketball hoops, vehicles and other obstructive objects. Refuse cans are to be placed curbside on the scheduled collection day and removed promptly after. Residents are also asked to park their vehicles in their driveway, if possible, when street sweeping occurs. The street sweeping schedule can be found at this link: https://cms9files.revize.com/PortervilleCA/departments/Public%20Works/2024-2025%20Street%20Sweeper%20Schedule.pdf. Remembering these easy habits will help maintain accessible sidewalks and clean streets for our neighbors. Being mindful of blocked walkways is considerate and also keeps home owners in ADA compliance.
