Join Dump Busters in their push to cleanup Edgebrook Ave, the 1981 "Junk Yard Capital of the City."

Edgebrook was described in 1981 as the "Junk Yard Capital of the City" in a Pittsburgh Press Article. Allegheny CleanWays DumpBusters faced that challenge and have been steadily chipping away at this dump site since November 2013. More than 2,600 tires and 4,000 pounds of trash have been removed from the wooded ravine.

Goals: We will be moving as much general debris as we can out of the wooded ravine. This may include tires, appliances, furniture, metal, and litter. We may not finish the site in one group event, but our efforts will go a long way towards helping the DumpBusters make their push to finish the job.

What to Bring: Long pants are a MUST. Long sleeves are recommended, even if it is warm. Wear sturdy, thick-soled shoes and be prepared to get at least a little dirty. A change of clothes and shoes, and a water bottle are recommended.

Provided: Gloves, tools, first aid kit, safety vests, toilet facilities. Pizza after the event.

Where to Meet: Near 1928 Edgebrook Ave. Parking is limited along Edgebrook, as it is very narrow. Park along Bellaire or Brookline Blvd and walk down to the meeting location.

When to Arrive: 10:00 am

Youth Waivers: Youth under the age of 18 must bring a waiver signed by a parent/guardian, if the parent/guardian will not be attending the event. Email Leah.Thill@AlleghenyCleanWays.org to request a copy of our waiver form.
