The 6 Annual City-Wide Cleanup Day in cooperation with
th
Operation: Serve will be held on Saturday, June 26 from
9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
th
Operation: Serve is the 9 annual collaborative effort of the First United Methodist
Church and other churches/organizations in Plainview, which recruits volunteers to
serve in the community. The goal of this day is to supply holistic opportunities in which
every church, organization, and age group (3 and up), can utilize individual gifts/skills to
personally aid in the development of the community. Opportunities range from
baking/cooking, sewing, and visiting assisted living centers, to yard work, house clean-
up, small maintenance repairs, and other odd jobs that citizens in Plainview may not be
able to physically or financially complete. Volunteers spend the day working these
various projects and are encouraged to utilize this experience as a “spring board” for
continual involvement in the community. (As well, arrangements are in place to return if
the work is not completed that day.)
th
Volunteers will meet at First United Methodist Church (1001 W. 7 Street) at 8:00 am
for breakfast and to receive instructions about their job duties. All volunteer jobs will
begin by 9 a.m. Breakfast and lunch will be provided to all volunteers participating in the
event.
Also, the City of Plainview will provide large roll-off containers for dumping and
encourage all citizens to take the opportunity to clean up their own property. Locations
st
include Broadway Park (101 SE 1 Street) and First United Methodist Church (1001 W.
th
7 Street).
Items that will be allowed at the drop-off include: Furniture, Small Appliances,
Household Items, Trash/Debris, Tree Limbs/Grass Clippings, and Electronics (no
batteries) including TVs, microwaves, computers and other items considered as E-
Waste.
No commercial dumping will be allowed and drop-off sites will NOT accept flammable,
corrosive, toxic, explosive or hazardous materials, oil, items containing Freon, batteries,
roofing & fencing materials, liquids such as paint, air conditioners, large appliances and
