Overview & Guidelines
The City of Anaheim may provide large dumpster bins to a neighborhood
once annually upon request for a neighborhood cleanup campaign.
A neighborhood is defined as a minimum of four (4) streets. Neighborhood
clean up campaigns provide residents an opportunity to dispose
of large items that do not fit in conventional trash containers.
Generally, the Neighborhood Cleanup Campaign guidelines are:
Frequency: Any neighborhood is eligible for a neighborhood cleanup
campaign once annually or as deemed appropriate by Neighborhood Services
Staff.
Logistics: Neighborhood
cleanup campaigns occur on Saturday’s
only. Dumpsters are delivered to up to six (6) pre-determined
addresses throughout the neighborhood at 8:00 a.m. and picked up
at 2:00 p.m.
If bins become full, an authorized resident(s) may call Anaheim
Disposal dispatch and order a change out. Change outs must be requested
no
later than 10:00 a.m.
Supervision: Prior
to a neighborhood cleanup campaign, a resident volunteer will
serve as the cleanup campaign coordinator and select
volunteers to monitor each bin throughout the cleanup. Volunteers
must be stationed at their assigned bin from the time it is dropped
off until the bin is picked up. If bins fill up prior to 2:00
p.m., volunteers should contact the clean-up campaignt coordinator
to have the bin removed.
Responsibilities:
Cleanup
Campaign Coordinator:
The cleanup campaign coordinator (typically the resident
requesting the cleanup) is
responsible for determining where bins will be placed. The
cleanup campaign coordinator must also organize
a group of volunteers (minimum of one per bin) to monitor
the bins during the
cleanup and assist in delivering flyers advertising the
cleanup to residents
throughout the neighborhood. Flyers will be provided by
the Neighborhood
Services Division. The cleanup campaign coordinator will
monitor all bins throughout the cleanup and is authorized
to contact
Anaheim
Disposal
to request change outs (by 10:00 a.m.) if necessary. The
clean-up campaigncoordinator must coordinate a training
session for the volunteers,
offered by Neighborhood Services Staff.
Volunteers:
All volunteers
must be at least eighteen (18) years of age (preferably 21
or older). Volunteers are to be stationed at
their assigned bin for the duration of the cleanup event – 8:00
a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Volunteers should not assist residents with
loading/unloading items being disposed. Volunteers must be
firm, yet polite in dealing
with all who wish to participate in the cleanup campaign. If
an individual becomes belligerent, the volunteer should contact
the
Anaheim Police
Department. Volunteers should contact the event coordinator
if their bin becomes full. It is highly recommended that volunteers
have a
cellular phone.
Neighborhood
Services Staff:
Neighborhood Services Staff will provide the clean-up campaign
coordinator with flyers advertising the event. Staff
will also lead a mandatory training session for the clean-up
coordinator
and volunteers to include: program guidelines, hazardous materials
procedures, etc.
