Studio City Residents Rally for Monthly Community Cleanup

STUDIO CITY, CA — The streets of Studio City are looking a little brighter this week following a successful beautification effort hosted by Studio City Neighborhood Council.

Nearly 70 local volunteers gathered at the landmark Vitello’s Restaurant on Tujunga Avenue to participate in the Studio City Community Cleanup. Working alongside residents were several local leaders, including board members Andrew Epstein, Chip Meehan, Jerry Lewis and Merci Borden.

A Productive Morning

 

The collective effort yielded significant results in a very short window of time. Within just two hours, the volunteer team managed to collect more than 60 large bags of trash from the surrounding neighborhoods.

To ensure the waste was handled efficiently, LA Sanitation provided prompt pickup services following the event.

Community Gratitude

Organizers expressed high praise for the turnout and the dedication of the neighborhood's residents.

• Organizers extended a special note of gratitude to the board members and volunteers.
• Volunteer Joanna Calabrese received particular recognition for her efforts during the event.
• The event was described by leadership as a "productive morning" dedicated to beautifying the neighborhood.

Looking Ahead

 

The success of this weekend’s event sets a positive tone for SCNC’s ongoing environmental initiatives. Organizers are already looking toward the future, with the next community cleanup scheduled for the 3^rd Sunday in February.
