Fall Clean-up
Similar to last year, our co-op calls upon members - and non-members, if interested - to help clean up the property on their own time between Friday, Oct. 29 through Sunday, Oct. 31.
Fall Clean-up: Social-Distanced Style!
All membership households are expected to participate. No sign-in for the event is required; however, your work is crucial toward maintaining low monthly rental rates. Look out for an email from your Ward Rep with more details specific to your ward, coming soon! Looking ahead into 2022 we plan to have a more interactive and social time during our clean ups. Coming together as a co-op at our Fall Clean-up, we hope you will:
- Get Outside: Get active, enjoy the spring weather, and gather and bag litter from all the community spaces!
- Be Safe: practice social distancing, use gloves, don't lift more than you can manage.
- Have fun: Share pictures on the CTC Facebook Page :D
Task List:
- Clean up all trash and put in dumpsters
- Pick up rocks and large sticks/branches, and place by dumpsters in a pile.
- Rake in rows: rake leaves/debris away from all buildings and objects, including bike racks, to allow for easy access for Landcare equipment.
- Rake up matted leaves that are stuck to the turf (prioritize matted leaves over loose leaves, as the matted leaves damages the turf)
- Sweep debris (leaves, sticks, etc.) from street curbs and rain gutters to middle of street/driving lane, allowing for the street sweeper to remove without moving vehicles.
- Pull leaves out of the playground corners and move to open turf areas.
- Roll the hoses up and putting in ward storage, along with organizing storage areas.
- Clear weeds of community gardens/flower beds (Peace Garden, Fruit Garden, Hasta Gardens)
- Dispose of abandoned toys/furniture, bikes, etc.
- Set out snow shovels from ward storage:
- One shovel per shared 2/3-bedroom front entrance
- One shovel per every other unit on 2/3-bedroom back entrance
- One shovel per side of 1-bedroom buildings
- Individual household task reminders
- Clean out front and back flower beds (free of weeds and plants when season is done)
- Organize and remove clutter in yards and common areas
- Review the Clutter and Debris Policy for more on your responsibility for maintaining yards, unit garden beds, and common areas, a year-round requirement for all residents.
- Community Garden Plot holders: All garden plots need to be cleared by Monday, Oct. 25, 2021. More details and directions emailed to individual gardeners.
Supplies:
- All rakes, snow shovels, and garbage bags are in your Ward Storage. If bags run out, please use a personal garbage bag. Thank you!
- Return all rakes to your Ward’s storage unit after use. Please put rakes away neatly and organized so others can easily and efficiently access the room.
