Help Los Gatos Shine!

Each April, Los Gatos celebrates Keep Los Gatos Beautiful Month with a series of events sponsored by the town and local service organizations to protect, restore and preserve the local environment. 

Its Los Gatos Shines program makes volunteering easier than ever for your family, business, civic, school, or scout groups. 

Residents can choose an area where they would like to assist with trash pickup, trail maintenance, or various clean-up efforts.

Volunteer projects can be scheduled through the town's Community Outreach Coordinator Jackie Rose, Monday–Thursday, 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

The town will provide trash bags with the Los Gatos Shines logo and vests and trash grabbers, on loan.

The collected trash can be returned to the Parks and Public Works Department or left at a nearby town-maintained trash receptacle.

For more information or to organize a project, contact Rose at 408-354-6853, or e-mail her at Jrose@LosGatosCa.gov.

Also, the Beautification Committee will meet at 9 a.m., Saturday, April 7 for its “Clean Up Saturdays” effort.

The organization is inviting the public to come along and bring gloves, shovels and brooms. The group will meet at the at 9 a.m. to help clean the downtown.
