Trash Talking With Belmont Public Works

Last week, the Belmont Public Works Department's maintenance staff tackled one of the city's dirtiest little secrets---the piles of trash that muck up the storm drains along Ralston Avenue.

Crews removed 340 pounds of trash and recyclables including suitcase, lawnmower bag, several plastic bags, scrap metal and a tire rim on Ralston between between Cipriani Boulevard and Hillcrest Avenue. According to the Belmont City Manager Greg Scoles' Weekly Update newsletter, this on land cleanup is part of the city’s enhanced trash load reduction efforts required by the state for litter reduction.  

Residents are invited to participate in the trash pick-up to help make a difference in the community. To get involved with litter cleanups, report illegal dumping, or more information, go to flowstobay.org
