🧼 Summer Block Care Instructions

Thank you for adopting a block this summer! Here's how to get started:

1
Pick up yellow AFD bags and reflective vests (if you'd like them) from 2502 Cadillac.
2
Fill the bags with trash from your adopted block. Make sure bags are not too heavy — keep them light enough for safe pickup.
3
Place full bags on the north side of the street. This helps our partners at Hantz Farms collect them efficiently.

You'll be caring for your block through September, helping us keep the neighborhood clean and beautiful all summer long.

Let's make a visible difference together. 💛
