Caltrans to Host Clean California Community Days Spring into Action

What:      Caltrans is hosting the Clean California Community Days Spring into Action during the month of March. The event is a celebration of the work the Clean California has done and a call to action for all Californians to do their part to beautify this state.

As part of the Community Days, Caltrans will be hosting a series of events throughout California. In District 9, Caltrans will be hosting free dump days, a free tire recycling day, community events, and more. Caltrans will also be on-hand at several local events, including the Ridgecrest Home & Leisure Show and the Cal City Farmers Market.

The public is encouraged to get involved in during the Community Days and Caltrans has set up a website (cleancalifornia.dot.ca.gov/community-days) where people can learn about events near them and register their own community clean-up, tree planting or other beautification project to be part of the effort.
