LAKEMOOR HILLS 2023 NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP – March 18

by

The 2023 Neighborhood Cleanup Day will be held on March 18 from 9 – 11 AM. During this time we will pick up trash, spread mulch, polish signs, clean up landscaping and decorate our neighborhood so we will be ready for visitors on the Dogwood trails starting April 1. We are generously supported by Keep Knoxville Beautiful who supplies us with trash bags, gloves, pickers and safety vests. There will be a team working at Legacy Park on Circle Lake, the church, Howard’s Corner (Bluff Point & Maloney), Maloney Road Park, the roundabouts, the access road, and every street in the neighborhood.

You can come and help us on that day (get your assignment & tools in the church parking lot), or you can pick a portion of the neighborhood and jump in early. Just email Kathy Proctor at ksp53@me.com or text 865-599-7783, and let her know which street(s) you plan to walk and remove debris and when you plan to do it. (see street listing below)

We are expanding our reach this year to include the 3 roundabouts, the bridges at Maloney & Montlake, and the western access road (Lakemoor View). So we will need lots of participation from the neighbors. Please join us and help keep Lakemoor Hills beautiful!

The city will NOT pick up stumps, logs or other large items. This is for BRUSH ONLY. They will also not pick up debris from unoccupied lots.

Please remember that this is a favor that the City of Knoxville is giving to the Dogwood Arts organization and to us. They will come one time and not return later in the month.
