District 5 Quintette Neighborhood Cleanup Collects Nearly 27 Tons of Debris
August 13, 2022
Escambia County collected and disposed of nearly 27 tons of debris and waste during the District 5 Quintette Neighborhood Cleanup in July. The event allowed residents to leave items at the curb to be disposed of free of charge by the county and partnering agencies.
The cleanup resulted in the collection of 26.76tons of debris, 740 pounds of household hazardous waste, and 179 tires and 15 gallons of paint.
The county’s neighborhood cleanup program is hosted by the Escambia County Community Redevelopment Agency’s Safe Neighborhood Program. Local partners include Escambia County Waste Services, Environmental Code Enforcement, Public Works, Animal Services and Road Prison, along with the City of Pensacola Sanitation Department.
A similar neighborhood cleanup was held last Wednesday in Cottage Hill. Totals from that collection are not yet available.

It’s just dirty work. Not sorry work. Autocorrect stuck on highly sensitive and won’t turn off.
Depending on whose out there working, they recycle it for themselves after they.make.you.separate it at the dump. last word I had no recycling was going on out there. There are way to.many people who do this for.a.living willing to pick up.for you for you to pay to dump and them.recycle it after you.did all the work. Just get one of us.local scrappers do it for you on your time. Anyone of us would love to help you out plus you know it’s being either recycled or reused. We aren’t hard to spot, and most all of us other then dirty as all get out (due to our line of work, not because we.are nasty folks, it’s just sorry work, most of us bath daily) are pretty nice interesting folks. I paid to dump trash at landfill a few.times, but I paid to take it out there for them to make even more off of it. Rubbish is ya ask me. Anyways p.s. Your local recyclist!!!
Does the county recycles the metal or dumps it all in the landfill.
