Last Saturday, the BernCo Clean Team joined forces with the Keep BernCo Beautiful Board and the Mountain View Neighborhood Association for a community cleanup event in the Mountain View neighborhood. You wouldn’t believe some of the stuff we found—everything from little bits of junk to couches, old playground gear, and even a washing machine! The team also set up two large dumpsters for the community to dispose of large items free of charge. ?? THANK YOU to our awesome volunteers, including local community members, teachers, and board members, who spent hours picking up trash. We're hoping to do more of these events around BernCo soon!
