BLEIBLERBILLE — The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and the Mill Creek Watershed Partnership will hold the annual Mill Creek Cleanup Event on Saturday, Nov. 9 in Bleiblerville.
Landowners with property inside the Mill Creek Watershed are invited to use a sponsored dumpster to remove waste from their section of Mill Creek. This event relies on landowner involvement because much of the Mill Creek watershed is privately owned.
Participants can pick up cleanup supplies, such as trash bags and gloves, at the Austin County AgriLife Extension Office at 800 E Wendt St. in Bellville, or at the Washington County AgriLife Extension Office at 1305 E Blue Bell Rd. in Brenham, during business hours now through Nov. 8.
The dumpster will be located at the Bleiblerville Volunteer Fire Department at 3342 FM 2502 Rd. in Bleiblerville, and is available from 9 a.m. to noon on Nov. 9.
“This is a great opportunity for landowners in the watershed to get rid of waste that has washed onto their property,” said Annalee Epps, the Mill Creek Watershed coordinator. “I encourage people to gather family and friends and work together to clean up sections of Mill Creek!”
Registration is required and can be completed by calling Annalee Epps at 979-321-5921 or by email at [email protected]. More details can be found on the website at millcreek.tamu.edu.
