CIMBL
passes 30,000 bags picked up!
(From left to right) Volunteers helping out with the Great Roseville Clean-up in 2006, Bags from a clean up scheduled by a Woodcreek High student in Roseville, Tires pulled from a roadside ditch in Rural Lincoln (Mike Burns, Kelly Albertson, Jim Holmes and Harriet White)
CIMBL is a 100% volunteer group of citizens just like you that decided to do something about keeping our beautiful rural roadways in Placer County free of unsightly litter and debris. We meet twice a month 10 months out of the year (once in July) and remove litter for 3 hours on a Saturday morning.
CIMBL will also help any organization or group in the Placer County area organize their own clean up - whether its a few neighbors getting together or a large company event, and provide all the equipment and logistics - including removing the debris once it's been collected. We also help individules that want to clean their neighborhoods by providing sticks, bags and vests.
CIMBL began with a handful of Saturday morning litter fighters in 1994. Now hundreds of volunteers strong, the team opens 2008 having collected over 29,000 bags of roadside trash (and over 2,000 discarded tires) collected from Placer County roadways. CIMBL was winner of the Outstanding Environmental Achievement 2001 Award from Keep California Beautiful, Inc.
