Take The Time To Volunteer And Pickup Trash On Your Walks! Adopt One Block.
NE 169th & NE San Rafeal St

By Candee Layton
Sandstone neighbor

I volunteer with Adopt One Block. As a Block Ambassador, you’ll clean up the block(s) you’ve adopted when and how you want, with litter removal supplies they deliver to you for free.

They supply grabbers, gloves, trash bags or buckets. I walk all over, more than my block. Even if you are not a volunteer with Adopt One Block you can report dumps of garbage, furniture and other items by emailing ridpatrol@oregonmetro.gov

First- A big thank you to Mike Penner and his crew for cleaning up the walkway down San Rafael, taking donations, and spreading barkdust; also for cleaning up the tree branches that came down on NE 162nd & NE Russell St.

Next- Thank you to Albertson’s for cleaning up the berm along NE169th Ave. It took a week of trimming, pruning, sawing, raking, picking up garbage, and hauling it all away!
