CLEANUP TRAILER

#TakePrideTooele is the theme for our citywide spring clean up event!

As residents, businesses, and organizations in Tooele City, we know that you care about your community, and want Tooele City to be a place where we all love to live, work, and play. There are many opportunities for everyone to participate. We are extending an invitation to our residents of all ages to clean up their own property. We also invite you to offer help in your own neighborhood to those who are not able to take care of their own property (don’t forget our seniors and those who are disabled).  We also have a list of community projects where your family, group, or organization could volunteer (i.e. beautify the cemetery, parks, roadways, etc.).  

For questions or to sign up for a Community Project, please call or email Louise Wiedmer at louisew@tooelecity.gov or 435.843.2142.

This year for #TakePrideTooele Day we will be cleaning up the Tooele City Community Center and the Ritz Theatre! Mayor Winn and the Tooele City Council invite you to join them on #TakePrideTooele Day - Saturday, May 18, 2024 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. 

#TakePrideTooele Neighborhood Cleanup Trailer
Check out our #TakePrideTooele Neighborhood Cleanup Trailer!  It is available for loan to Tooele City Community residents and community groups free of charge (minimum of 5 households or a group with ten or more volunteers). 

Trees
Spring is an excellent time for home owners to check trees and ensure there are no problems for others.   Trees are the ANSWER, but can also be the PROBLEM.  Trees can hurt individuals, and can also contribute to vehicle damage.  It is important to trim trees that hang out into the street.  A height of 12’6″ feet is required for vehicles to pass under.  On a sidewalk, a height of 8′ is necessary for individuals to walk underneath.  If you have any questions, please feel free to call our Public Works office at 435.843.2130.

The trailer is available on a first come, first serve basis. Click on the link below to reserve the trailer for your neighborhood clean up. The trailer will be delivered to your area by a Tooele City employee and picked up at the designated time.

The #TakePrideTooele began in 2018 under the direction of Mayor Debbie Winn. It is a program to provide opportunities and information to residents in an effort to keep our City a beautiful place to live, work, learn and play.

The Neighborhood Cleanup Trailer was made possible in 2021 through the Utah Department of Human Services SOR Grant to strengthen Tooele City neighborhoods and to provide the tools for neighbors to help make Tooele City a beautiful place to live, work, and play.  The program fosters community building by facilitating neighborhood-level engagement and empowering residents with opportunities to connect and to serve.

A dump trailer is also available and can be brought out to put green waste and garbage bags in.
