Keep Temple Beautiful for the November 2020 Focus on Business Looking for a way to give back to your community? Cleaning up around your home is a great way to do just that while also making your neighborhood a great place to live. And since you will need a way to dispose of your waste, Keep Temple Beautiful with the City of Temple and Citizens For Progress have created a free dumpster program to assist citizens in the process. Operation: Dumpster Drop allows residents to individually clean up their yards while safely social distancing to get rid of trash, yard trimmings, debris, tires, etc. A schedule has been set for the neighborhood placements of the dumpsters which will be dropped in a neighborhood every two weeks through 2021. The schedule for Operation: Dumpster Drop is as follows: November 7: East Downs, 712 E. Calhoun Ave November 21: Temple Heights, 1515 S. 7th St December 5: Ferguson Park, 908 E. Avenue B December 19: Central, 300 S. 27th St (Fred W. Edwards Academy) January 2: Jackson Park, 925 N. 4th St (Jackson Park) January 16: Crestview, 1503 E. Avenue J January 30: Woodlawn, Dead End on Chevy Cir (between 3002 & 3016 Chevy Cir) February 13: Downtown, 220 E. Adams Ave (Impact Temple Church) February 27: Bird Creek, Dead End on Arrowhead Dr (near Bird Creek Park & 4819 Arrowhead Dr) March 13: Historic, 820 W. Munroe Ave (Optimist Park, Dead End of Nugent) March 27: I-35 Midtown, 2114 W. Avenue D (across from 201 S. 41st St) April 10: Garden, Corner of N. 7th & Mayborn (near 402 Mayborn Dr) April 24: Northwest Hills, 813 Brandywine Dr May 8: Bellaire, 2603 N. 3rd St (Walker Park) If you’re also in need of tools for your tidying up then don’t despair, tools are available through the Transform Temple Tool Library along with a Covid-19 cleanup packet from Keep Temple Beautiful that includes trash bags, gloves and literature on safely conducting a mini cleanup. Don’t forget to document your cleanup with pictures and email them to Tanya@keeptemplebeautiful. A family or individual who does the best job will receive a “swag bag” with goodies from Keep Temple Beautiful, the City of Temple, TxDOT and Niagara Water. To recognize residents for their effort in keeping Temple beautiful, the best looking yard will also be awarded a swag bag and a sign stating they have the most beautiful lawn in the neighborhood. The sign will be placed in the winner’s front yard for two weeks of bragging rights. So, be on the lookout because Operation: Dumpster Drop is coming to a neighborhood near you!
