Accepting ideas for CleanScapes’ $10,000 Community Improvement Project

CleanScapes invites Shoreline residents to submit ideas for a community improvement project worth $10,000.  

A committee of neighborhood representatives will select the winning projects, and CleanScapes, together with the City of Shoreline, will install and maintain the community amenities.

CleanScapes’ annual Neighborhood Waste Reduction competition rewards communities for reducing all waste – garbage, recycling and food scraps and yard debris.  In recent years, the winning neighborhoods chose to fund the installation of mile markers along the Interurban Trail designed by local artists, as well as public benches and picnic tables at Twin Ponds Community Garden.

This year’s winners include portions of the Hillwood, Innis Arden, Richmond Beach and Richmond Highlands communities located in CleanScapes Thursday collection area.

Seattle, WA 98104.
Interested in helping your neighborhood win next year? The 2012-2013 competition is underway, giving you the chance to compete for a $10,000 community project in your neighborhood.
