A neighborhood cleanup initiative instills neighborhood pride.
A neighborhood that looks good, that’s free of trash and clutter, and that allows children to play without fear of being injured by debris or contracting parasites or diseases from rotting waste is one that residents and businesses can be proud of.
When neighbors come together to make the neighborhood that way, they can take pride in themselves and their abilities as well. Community initiatives encourages residents to take ownership of the neighborhood and keep it clean and healthy.
