Fall Cleanup will be a joint effort between KMC Air Force personnel and U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern.
This cleanup will primarily focus on improving the exterior of facilities and surrounding grounds areas, but including interior cleanup projects is a good idea too if you can do so. The dates for this year’s cleanup are Dec. 3 and 4. 786 CES will officially notify all Air Force personnel through facility managers and USAGK personnel will be notified through their chain of command. Dec. 3, will be reserved for office buildings and industrial areas; Dec. 4 will be reserved for base housing and housing areas. Facility Managers should organize teams to clean the exterior and interior of all their facilities.
As a reminder, the area of responsibility for industrial and office buildings extends 100 feet in all directions from the facility and includes: litter pick-up, weed removal, bush/tree trimming, and leaf raking. The KMC Self-Help Center stocks most necessary supplies, including bio-degradable garbage bags, grass seed, and hand tools, to include weed eaters, hedge trimmers, power washers, rakes, and shovels. Please note that only Facility Managers, First Sergeants and Commanders may sign out items from the KMC Self-Help Center.
The focus for the interior of facilities should be cleaning out storage rooms, dusting, washing windows, removing cobwebs, minor painting and general office clean-up. For maximum success during this KMC-wide effort, please follow these guidelines:
• Place weeds and leaves in biodegradable bags at curbside, but not nearby refuse dumpsters.
• Don’t bag up dirt, rocks, refuse – bags heavy with these wrong materials won’t be picked up.
• Take recyclable items (batteries, tires, metal, paper, glass, etc.) to recycling centers and place in the proper recycling container (Ramstein: Bldg. 5146, Kapaun:
Bldg. 2820, Sembach: Bldg. 194).
• Place branches and limbs in two separate piles at curbside, one pile for small branches up to 4 inches in diameter and another for larger branches.
• 786 CES crews-in-trucks will pick up weeds/leaves in the biodegradable bags from your curbsides, as well as piled-up branches, starting on cleanup day and continuing until complete.
