Talking to your neighbors.

The success of your neighborhood beautification program depends on getting the

word out to your neighbors. Speaking in person with each resident on your block is

the best way to communicate your enthusiasm. If you have trouble reaching people

at home, try locating their telephone numbers and calling them. As a last resort,

hang flyers on their doorknobs.

When you’re able to reach your neighbors and find they are willing to participate,

include their names, addresses and telephone numbers on the ―Neighborhood

Planning Session Flyer

Help keep our neighborhood beautiful! You can make a difference. You can play an important part in improving our

neighborhood. We need your help to implement the City of Houston and Keep

Houston Beautiful’s Clean Neighborhoods program, an ongoing community

cleanup and landscaping initiative.

If you can imagine a neighborhood free of litter and debris...no more abandoned

cars, overgrown lots or other unsightly nuisances...esplanades lined with flowers,

trees and shrubs...a safer, more prosperous place to work and live...then you can

see what a difference the Clean Neighborhoods program can make to the

appearance of our community.

Help us make our neighborhood a showplace. Join us for our first neighborhood

planning session.

Safety Tips

As we work to clean up our neighborhood, we should all exercise caution so that

we can prevent this day from being marred by any injury.

The following is a list of Safety Tips that will help us make this day a great

success for all:

1. Watch out for traffic.

2. Be on the watch for snakes around logs, tall grass and other likely places.

3. Under no circumstances should you attempt to pick up syringes or

hypodermic needles!

4. Avoid contact with poison ivy and/or poison oak.

5. Be alert to stinging insects, especially fire ants.

6. Do not attempt to compact (squeeze) trash sacks to gain room for more trash.

Injuries from broken glass or jagged objects often occur as a result of this

practice. Fill the sack with what goes in easily and then get another bag—

we have plenty to go around!

7. Be careful to recognize your own physical limitations.

8. Your block captain has a First Aid Kit should aid be necessary.

Special notes.

Please put aluminum cans into separate bags so that they can be recycled and used

again for something else. Also, see your block captain for specific instructions on

the handling of tires at your site.

Mike Aden, Warehouse Manager. You can then pick up supplies on Friday mornings

at 9:00 a.m.

When you arrive at the warehouse, Mike will open the gate so that you can pull

around and he can load your supplies.

A $100.00 security deposit made payable to Keep Houston Beautiful is required.

returned to the warehouse no later than 12:00 noon on the Monday following your

Saturday workday.
