After cracking dozens of cascarones on family members’ heads, the city recommends you take time to clean up the mess it may leave and dispose of it properly using trash and recycling bins.
It’s important to keep parks clean for the safety of visitors and the animals that call the land their home, park officials said.
The city also encourages safe barbecuing practices that include:
- Never leave a lit grill unattended
- For charcoal grills, only use charcoal starter fluid
- If a grease fire starts on the grill, do not pour water on it. For charcoal grills with no lid, contact 911
- Extinguish all coals, safely dispose of ash and clean the grill to prevent additional fire
- Before putting in the trash, wrap cooled, damp ashes in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Never place in a recycling bin
Individuals interested in volunteering to help clean up parks can sign up through the weekend.
