U Clean-It Box

Since 2017, the U Clean-It Box has provided the community the tools needed to help keep Montclair Park clean and safe for visitors, pets, and wildlife. The box is available for any volunteers to help clean up the park.

Combination: 2907

Location: By the Recreation Center, next to the rock wall, across from the dumpster and pull-up bars.

Cautions:  Be Careful! Do not pick up dangerous items such as glass, needles, or burning cigars/cigarettes. Don’t hurt the park and/or yourself. Do not use tools in pond so you don’t hurt fish, geese, and turtles.

Items in box:

  • Instructions and sign in sheet

  • Pickup claws

  • Buckets to collect trash

  • A broom and dustpan

  • Work gloves in 3 sizes

  • Boxes of disposable gloves

  • Boxes of trash bags

  • Extra combination lock (if lock gets broken/vandalized)

  • Once you have filled up a trash bag, put it in the dumpster and not back in the box

We ask that you to help refill the box if supplies are running low.
