The time taken to clean up a neighborhood—literally gathering up litter and other debris—can go a long way toward helping clean up crime in that neighborhood. 

That’s why COMBAT and the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office will be hitting the streets—33rd Street and Indiana Avenue in Kansas City to be specific—for a neighborhood clean-up event around Central High School on Tuesday, Oct. 29.

Date: Tuesday, Oct. 29 • 10:00 a.m. – Noon

Location: 33rd & Indiana • Near Central High School • 3221 Indiana Ave., KCMO 64128

Volunteering: Contact COMBAT Program Manager Tammie Jordan tjordan@jacksongov.org. 

As part of the clean-up, Jackson County Sheriff deputies will be on-site to safely dispose of any expired or unused medications that individuals may wish to turn in. Furthermore, dumpsters will be available for household waste, small appliances, small automobile parts, furniture, TVs, beds, mattresses, cabinets, rugs, garage doors and more.

“Your highly visible work not only will boost neighborhood pride, but help fight crime.

A litter-free flower bed is not just a pretty sight, it is a sign of a community that cares.”
