I already picked up trash whenever I walk the dog...its a great habit to get into!

Earth Month Tip of the Day: Clean Up Your Neighborhood

Celebrate Earth Month by making your neighborhood a little cleaner.

Grab some gloves and a trash bag—or make it even easier by reserving a free Litter Cleanup Kit from the City of Lakewood.

Each kit includes supplies for a small group and can be picked up at the Civic Center and returned after use. Kits must be reserved in advance.

Whether you spend a few hours cleaning up or just pick up litter on your daily walk, every little bit helps protect our environment and keep our community looking its best.

Last Saturday, 20+ Eiber neighbors gathered at the historic Lakewood Grange building to gather supplies and maps for picking up trash as an Earth Week activity.

Volunteers primarily covered W. 14th Ave and the side streets between Carr and Wadsworth. They returned with over 320 pounds of trash plus plastic and aluminum to be recycled.

Thanks to all who participated!

Have you gotten a chance to visit the 5th Annual Wildlife of Lakewood Photography Exhibit at the Lakewood Cultural Center? Fifty-one of our neighbors submitted 125 photos this year - a big increase from last year's event. The show runs until Friday, Mar. 27th.

What beautiful photos of our Lakewood wildlife!

That's why we hold clothing swap events in our neighborhood!

02/20/2026

The Sustainable Eiber Clothing Swap on Feb. 7th was a success in many ways! Closets were cleaned out, new items were found to love, folks volunteered to help, and neighbors had fun chatting with each other.

And it all took place in the Genesis Gallery inside the Lakewood United Methodist Church, which featured an amazing art show.

Give this a "LIKE" if you'd like to attend another clothing swap in the future!

The City of Lakewood has just published the Zero Waste Directory Map.

Have you been meaning to donate or recycle items, but aren’t sure where to take them? Are you looking to purchase second-hand items, but aren’t sure where to find them? Search by business or filter by type of item you wish to recycle or purchase to find local businesses that meet your needs.
