San Rafael Clean volunteers Andree
Jansheski, Libby McQuiston and Rebecca Blake have recently initiated a
Clean Business Program which entails collaborating with the City’s Code
Enforcement and Finance Divisions to put into place an ongoing litter
eradication program for San Rafael establishments. Some, like Andree
Jansheski’s Bellam Self Storage & Boxes, have already gone
“litter-free.” After Andree started picking up trash in front of her
business and on nearby streets, she inspired her neighbors to do
likewise which ultimately changed the look of the neighborhood. The Mall
at Northgate has ongoing cleanups, provides ample waste and cigarette
receptacles around their facility and is committed to recycling and
waste reduction. Classic
Billiards on Fourth Street supplies ash receptacles at both doors for
their clientele and the Broken Drum Brewery on Fourth Street sweep their
sidewalk twice a day. San Rafael Clean is proud of these efforts but
has a long way to go. In the near future, notices will be sent to all
local businesses urging them to be part of the San Rafael Clean Business
Program and reminding them of the existing City Code, making it
obligatory to keep their business sites clean.
