🌿 Watershed Warriors: Spring Valley County Library Cleanup Results! 🌿

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined the cleanup on October 18, 2025, hosted by I Love A Clean San Diego, The Spring Valley Community Alliance, and Street Stewards! 💪

Here’s what our amazing volunteers accomplished:
👥 Volunteers: 24
🗑️ Trash Collected: 82 lbs
♻️ Recycling Collected: 16 lbs

The Spring Valley Library sits near baseball and football fields, as well as nearby schools — areas that tend to collect litter.

🚭 ILACSD provides small cups attached to cleanup buckets, helping volunteers separate cigarette waste. This allows the cigarette butts — including the one pound collected at this event — to be sent to TerraCycle for recycling, where the plastic filters are properly processed. 🔄

Every cleanup makes a difference — thank you to everyone helping keep Spring Valley clean and beautiful! 💚

🐶 Cheers to a Purr-fect Day at Lamar Park Yesterday for Spring Valley Pets 🐱

A huge thank you to residents who participated in our Free Spay & Neuter Clinic!

Your incredible response helped make this event a big success. Events like this make a real impact in keeping our pets healthy and reducing pet overpopulation in our community. ❤️

Special thanks to the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services, County of San Diego Parks & Recreation, and Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe & her Office for making this event possible. The Spring Valley Community Alliance was excited to volunteer & be a part of it.

We’re so grateful for everyone who registered, showed up, and helped spread the word. Stay tuned for more events to come — and let’s keep working together for the well-being of Spring Valley’s furry family members! 🐾
