JACKSON, Wyo. — Next week the JH Rotary Club (JHRC) and Energy Conservation Works (ECW) will hold a Fall Community Clean Up from Nov. 1-7.

“Over the summer, our valley has seen a record-breaking amount of outdoor traffic from visitors and locals alike who have gotten outside after a spring indoors. Since the snow will be collecting soon enough, now is a great time to get out and clean up our town,” said a press release from ECW and JHRC.

The Community Clean Up is being held in conjunction with the annual Fall Clean Up hosted by the Town of Jackson and Teton County Integrated Solid Waste and Recycling. Community members are encouraged to pick up orange trash bags from either Town Hall or the Jackson Hole News&Guide office located at 1225 Maple Way.

For those cleaning in town, bags can be placed on the side of the street and the Town of Jackson Public Works’ team will pick it up. If individuals are cleaning in the county, they may place their bag on the side of a state highway and WYDOT will pick it up.

“It’s a pleasure to work with our partners to support this great example of coordinated, local stewardship,” says ECW Executive Director Phil Cameron. “As the host of Eco-Fair, we’ve long partnered on the Spring Cleanup and we’re really happy to see how this collaboration has grown to include the Fall Cleanup, both of which support the EcoFair mantra of ‘Simple and sustainable living in the Tetons.’”
