Some helpful hints for the cleanup - "rules of the road"
- You will be asked for proof of St. Paul or Falcon Heights residency if you do not present the entrance voucher form with the mailing label intact.
- You must bring the entrance voucher form with you and have it filled out before you reach the entrance. Make checks payable to Como Community Council.
- The fees will be assessed, tallied and accepted by a person at the entrance gate.
- For the safety of all, please stay on established paths throughout the cleanup area and follow traffic directions.
- Volunteers will be on site to help you unload your vehicles. Do not walk inside any dumpsters or throw anything over the sides of dumpsters, unless the door is closed.
- Separate for recycling as much as you can. General refuse in St. Paul is either landfilled or burned for fuel!
