The City of Laramie is excited to announce details for the 2023 Laramie Community Clean-Up Days. Join the Laramie-wide effort April 22nd through May 7th and help beautify the place we all love ahead of the warmer months.
For the 16-day period, community members are encouraged to team up and volunteer their time by cleaning up windblown and littered trash that has been collected throughout the winter. To kick it up a notch, the City of Laramie will hold a prize drawing for volunteers who submit photos of their clean-up efforts. Participants can enter into the drawing for gift certificates to local Laramie businesses by submitting their photo no later than 5:00 p.m. on May 9th to planning@cityoflaramie.org. Don’t forget to tag the City of Laramie too!
Groups and/or individuals should call the City at (307) 721-5207 to coordinate a cleanup location and time (trash bags and safety vests also available upon request). The City has outlined the following priority areas for the 2023 event:
- Interstate 80 Exit 310 (Curtis Street)
- Curtis Street from west side of bridge west of 3rd Street to Exit 310
- McCue Street from Curtis Street to Lyon Street
- Interstate 80 Exit 311 (Snowy Range Road)
- Interstate 80 Exit 313 (3rd Street)
- Grand Avenue from Sherman Hill Road to Wister Drive
- Spring Creek
City staff will collect filled trash bags after volunteers are finished cleaning and collecting garbage. Volunteers may choose additional areas they wish to clean up, just give the City Planning Office a heads up so they can coordinate bag pick-ups.
In addition, the City encourages Albany County residents, especially University of Wyoming students moving out after the spring semester, to apply for the FREE Landfill Voucher to properly dispose of unwanted or damaged household items such as couches, desks, or other furniture items. Please do NOT leave unwanted furniture in alleyways, sidewalks, or yards. Instead, apply for a free voucher from April 17th to August 4th to properly dispose of items and help keep our streets and alleyways free of obstruction and our community clean at: http://www.cityoflaramie.org/voucher. Vouchers may be redeemed from May 1st to September 16th. For more information visit: http://www.cityoflaramie.org/solidwaste or call (307) 721-5279.
The City of Laramie would like to thank the 2023 Laramie Community Clean-Up Event sponsors, the Laramie Beautification Committee, Laramie Chamber Business Alliance, Laramie Boomerang, and Laramie Main Street Alliance for supporting the beautification of the community we all love.
