Commissioner Sharon McDonald’s District Wide District 5 community clean up is back again on July 20th, 7 am to noon. There will be city dump sites around each participating district with a shredder and the main dump site at the Dudley School on Maryland Avenue, Alamogordo.

This annual event is expanded with Commissioners Nick Paul, Warren Robinson and Mark Tapley joining the mix for a cleanup in their districts.

Commissioner Sharon McDonald’s District Wide District 5 community clean up is back again on July 20th, 7 am to noon.

These 4 community focused city commissioners are collaborating to help clean up Alamogordo.

In addition to handing out flyers Mrs. McDonald had a float at the July 4th parade to further raise awareness to beautify and cleanup of Alamogordo’s neighborhoods.

The event goal is to bring the community together and renew a sense of coming together in diverse unity with services that would help with cleaning and revitalizing the district. The event offers lawn mowing, cutting weeds, removing trash from properties, shredding and large dumpsters are available for people dump trash.

Pickup services are offered for free to elderly, disabled, retired or those too ill to do these tasks. For pickups see more information at https://commishsharon.com/2024-clean-up/

Just a heads up, any shredding assistance will be FREE. The dump located at 1350 Lavelle Rd will be FREE to everyone that is needing to dump any trash or big items on July 20th. Otherwise, the dumpster will be located at the Dudley School Community Center free to anyone on July 20th.

This event is a volunteer event as a part of the Keep Alamogordo Beautiful campaign. Volunteers of all ages have come out each year to support Sharon’s Cleanup Campaign to raise awareness about bringing together the community for clean up and pride.

Neighborhood trash cleanups are popular community service activities often celebrated around Earth Day, but they can be done any time of year as Mrs. McDonald demonstrates. These initiatives can revitalize and beautify neighborhoods while encouraging pride in people's communities. Clean and green spaces also have myriad mental health benefits, demonstrating the need to protect and maintain these areas.

Come on down and see leadership in action with District 5 Commissioner Sharon McDonald getting her hands dirty to help keep the community clean!

Save the date and join us! We will see you 7 am on July 20th 2024!
