The city of Goleta invites the community to participate in a Beautify Goleta event, Saturday, July 18 in celebration of Plastic Free July.

The two-part activity includes a free bulky item drop-off and a community litter cleanup, both designed to support a cleaner, more sustainable Goleta. Both are happening at the Goleta Community Center, 5679 Hollister Ave.

The bulky item drop-off, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., offers a chance to dispose of large household items responsibly.

• Drop-off location: Goleta Community Center rear parking lot.
• Accepted items: furniture, mattresses, and other non-hazardous bulky household items
• Not accepted:
◦ Electronics
◦ Household hazardous waste (paints, chemicals, etc.)
◦ Medications

Note: Drop-offs before or after 9 a.m.-1 p.m. will not be accepted.

Community Litter Cleanup, 9 a.m.-noon is designed to help beautify the neighborhood surrounding the Goleta Community Center. Volunteers meet at Goleta Community Center front lawn.

Volunteers will receive:
• A reusable Go Green Goleta utensil set (while supplies last)
• A Beautify Goleta hat and long-sleeve t-shirt (while supplies last)

All ages are welcome. Please wear close-toe shoes and bring sun protection, and a reusable water bottle. Consider walking, biking, or carpooling to reduce your carbon footprint.

This event is made possible thanks to the ongoing support of MarBorg Industries and Big Green Cleaning.
