CELEBRATE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND RESPONSIBLY! 🙏 Each year, thousands of San Diegans and tourists celebrate the holiday weekend at our local beaches, bays and lakes. ☀ It’s the unofficial start of summer and many choose to enjoy it near water. 🌊 Please remember we can all do our part to keep our public spaces clean and safe. Here are some ways you can help: ✔ PREPARE: Bring foods and beverages in reusable containers. Bring trash bags to easily dispose of litter. ✔ DISPOSE: Dispose of any waste in a covered bin and recycle. ✔ CARE: Be considerate of others, including our wildlife and pets, by not leaving anything behind.

Crews are currently installing street sweeping signage in the Allied Gardens community. 🚗🅿❌ 💦💧🌊 Street sweeping is a pollution prevention service that protects public health, marine life and our local waterways and infrastructure by strategically removing trash and pollution. 🧹🗑 The City of San Diego is increasing its street sweeping efficiency by implementing new parking restrictions in some neighborhoods so street sweepers can be more effective in picking up trash from our streets. 🙌 👉 Please keep an eye out for any new signage in your neighborhood. Check out our interactive map to see if your street is affected by these changes. 🔗 bit.ly/StreetSweepingMap . . . #ThinkBlueSanDiego #SanDiego #StreetSweeping #ParkingRestrictions #StormwaterMaintenance #PollutionPrevention #StormwaterPollution #StopPollution #PollutionFree #AlliedGardens
