Yucca Valley Clean Team Volunteers

The Town of Yucca Valley Clean Team is a group of volunteers that includes citizens, representatives from civic organizations and local businesses, the Town's contracted waste hauler Waste Management, and Town staff. Their mission is to provide the resources necessary to address the Town of Yucca Valley Mission Statement's "safe and secure environment" component, namely, to keep Yucca Valley trash free by cleaning up trash and illegal dump sites and reducing present and future illegal waste disposal through programs of public education, awareness and participation.

The Clean Team meets monthly to plan and coordinate upcoming efforts. Once a month on a Saturday morning the team members don their bright yellow shirts and meet to clean up a particularly trashy area or illegal dumpsite. Waste Management assists by placing a roll off bin at the predetermined site.

The Team has cleaned up illegal dumpsites, assisted in the spring and fall community Cleanup Days, and picked up trash along the Town's highways and byways. The Clean Team has facilitated adoption of all Town highway frontages by local business and agencies through California's Adopt-a-Highway Program.

Twice each year, usually in April and in October, San Bernardino County sponsors Community Clean-up & Recycling Day at its landfills. County (and City/Town) residents may dispose of excess trash, furniture, leaves, brush, etc. AT NO COST. Tires require special handling fee and are not included in the free dump day. No hazardous materials, televisions, or computers will be accepted. County residents may delivre TVs and monitors to Burrtec Waste Industries at 2340 W. Main St., Barstow. Only privately owned cars, station wagons, cars with trailers, and pick-up trucks are permitted. Proof of residency will be required. Don't forget to cover all loads going to the landfill or the County will charge you, even on FREE Dump Day.
