The transformative ‘Love where You Live!’ campaign has successfully concluded its operations across multiple districts in Yorks, marking a significant achievement in urban revitalization. Municipal crews executed an extensive cleanup operation spanning from Fort James Drive through Anchorage Road to Mckinnons Pond and Old Runaway, resulting in the collection of 11.8 tons of accumulated bulk waste from public spaces, residential properties, and neglected lots.
Comprehensive environmental improvements included the clearance of forty-four vacant plots that had become overrun with debris, uncontrolled vegetation, and potential safety hazards. The initiative also facilitated the removal of thirty-three abandoned vehicles as of December 4th, 2025, substantially enhancing both safety protocols and community aesthetics.
Additional landscape management involved systematic tree trimming and vegetation control throughout the targeted areas, significantly improving visibility for pedestrians and motorists while elevating the overall visual appeal of the neighborhood.
The Municipal Authority has announced the campaign’s expansion into Point and central St. John’s, urging residents to properly dispose of waste materials during scheduled collection periods to maintain the newly restored environment. Officials specifically request that community members refrain from placing additional bulk waste on curbsides or exterior home areas after the cleanup teams depart. Instead, residents should contact the Authority directly at 562-2019 to arrange professional collection services for any subsequently accumulated waste, ensuring sustained cleanliness and hygiene standards across the municipality.
