14 Tons Of Debris Collected During Cantonment Neighborhood Cleanup
July 24, 2019
Escambia County collected and disposed of more than 14 tons of debris during the Cantonment Neighborhood Cleanup in July, as part of the county’s ongoing effort to help keep local neighborhoods and communities clean and safe. The events allowed residents to leave items at the curb to be disposed of free of charge by the county and partnering agencies.
The Cantonment Neighborhood Cleanup on July 17 saw great participation from residents, with about 22,380 pounds of yard waste, 7,640 pounds of bulk waste, 150 tires and 720 pounds of household hazardous waste placed at curbside for pickup — for a total of 28,180 pounds.
The neighborhood cleanup initiative involves an aggressive clean-up effort, targeting different neighborhoods throughout the county, with crew members picking up a variety of debris and waste, including electronics, furniture and household items. Since 2016, more than 1,943 tons (3,888,020 pounds) of debris have collected and disposed of through the Community Redevelopment Agency’s Safe Neighborhood Program.
The county’s neighborhood cleanup program is hosted by the Escambia County Community Redevelopment Agency’s Safe Neighborhood Program. Local partners include Escambia County Waste Services, Environmental Code Enforcement, Public Works, Animal Services and Road Prison, along with the City of Pensacola Sanitation Department.

Nice Job!
It would be nice if every area could have something like this every year or even every other year.
I totally agree with just saying. We whom keep our area clean need this service also it’s like you get punished for trying to keep your neighborhood clean. It’s my tax dollars also so where is my clean up?
This service should be offered in every area of the county at some point over a period of time. Operation Escambia Country in it’s entirety!
