The City of Houston, Houston Police Department,

in partnership with Keep Houston Beautiful and Harris County
office of
Probationers and other city departments welcomes you to
a new initiative that
focuses on three levels of community partnership.

Council
- elected officials serving their constituents
Clean
up - cleaner and safer neighborhoods
Mayor Bill White's office has partnered
with City Council members, HPD's Neighborhood Protection
Corps, and other city agencies to conduct monthly clean-ups
in different council districts.
The first area clean-up, conducted in March
in Council Member Toni Lawrence's District with the assistance
of city employees and area residents, resulted in the removal
of more than 500 bags of trash and 100 tires, as well as
the clearing of several weeded lots. In addition, graffiti
was painted over at several locations in the Spring Branch
area.
The cooperative effort will be repeated
monthly in a different council district. "Neighborhood
clean-ups provide a perfect opportunity for city employees
to work shoulder to shoulder with citizens and contribute
to make Houston the cleanest and safest city in the nation,"
said Mayor White.
If you would like
to volunteer, please call 713-839-8855.
