Keeping Our Community Clean:

Many families in our community have traditions of watching the fireworks from open lots or roadside right-of-way areas throughout the community. If this is your tradition, please remember to bring a garbage bag with you and take home any waste that your celebration creates, including legal fireworks debris, to place in your waste containers.

If you are watching from any of our parks or an area where waste containers are provided, please use them. It respects our neighbors who may live nearby and helps to make our community the place we want to be.
