Community-wide spring cleanup takes place in Pocatello

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) - Residents of Pocatello and Chubbuck took part in the annual community-wide spring cleanup on Saturday.

Participants met at the NeighborWorks Pavilion at Caldwell Park, where they received a free pancake and sausage breakfast cooked up by the Chamber Chiefs.

The annual cleanup was spearheaded by the Community Beautification Council, which is a committee of the Pocatello-Chubbuck Chamber of Commerce.  

Council member Mark Dahlquist said that this was a great opportunity for all residents to come together and spend a couple of hours serving the community. 

“Getting out for a couple of hours on a Saturday morning in the spring to make our community look and feel better about itself is such a rewarding experience,” Dahlquist said..     

Areas prioritized during the cleanup included surroundings along Hiline Road and Yellowstone Avenue.
