Organizers report growth, 60 pounds of trash removed at Nehalem’s 3rd Annual Clean Up Day
Summary
Organizers said nearly 30 volunteers collected about 60 pounds of trash during Nehalem’s 3rd Annual City Clean Up Day; the event’s move to City Hall improved visibility and organizers want to partner with local businesses next year.
Organizers of Nehalem’s 3rd Annual City Clean Up Day told the council on Oct. 14 that the event has grown and improved after relocating to the area in front of City Hall. Halle Myers, owner of Coastal Junkers, and Kate Cloran, Development and Systems Director at Heart of Cartm, reported nearly 30 community members participated and roughly 60 pounds of trash were collected; Tillamook County Solid Waste assisted with hauling and weighing the debris. Organizers said live music helped create a festive atmosphere and discussed seeking partnerships with local businesses to share logistical costs and expand outreach.
Council members praised the community spirit. Council President Hilary Howell called the event “fun,” and Mayor Phil Chick praised the event’s role in highlighting the city and local businesses, singling out resident Katie Green for regular volunteer litter pickup. Organizers asked councilors to consider continued support and collaboration for future events.
