Join Us for the 2025 McKownville Neighborhood Cleanup

We’re excited to announce the return of the McKownville Fire Department’s Neighborhood Cleanup — now in its third year! Join us this Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 1:00 PM at the firehouse at 1250 Western Avenue, rain or shine, as we come together once again to help keep our community clean, safe, and beautiful.

Over the past two years, this event has brought neighbors, families, and volunteers together in the spirit of service. We’ve picked up roadside litter and made real improvements to our shared spaces — and we’re looking forward to building on that success again this year.

We’ll provide gloves, trash bags, and light refreshments. Just bring your energy and community spirit! Just an hour or two of your participation makes a big difference.

McKownville 2024 Spring Cleanup & Open House

On Sunday morning, April 13, 2024 starting at 9am, the McKownville Improvement Association and McKownville Fire Department are hosting a neighborhood cleanup. Like last year, we’re focusing on cleaning up the roadside and sidewalks along Western Avenue, Fuller Road, McKown Road, and Schoolhouse Road.

After that, we’re welcoming the community back to the Firehouse for an Open House and cookout at 1pm – Hotdogs, burgers, drinks and hands-on demonstrations will be provided by the Fire Department.

Public Information Meeting #1 – Thank You!

We want to thank our neighbors in the McKownville community for attending the first public information session for the proposed new firehouse last night, October 25, 2023. Many questions were answered and we are very happy to report that every seat was filled!

During these informational sessions, we are taking note of your questions, and when necessary, will research answers and respond both individually and also to the building project page for the wider community: mckfd.org/building

Our goal throughout the build process is to be as open, transparent, and forthcoming as possible.

If you would like to receive project updates via email, please let us know: building@mckfd.org

Thank You for Making Earth Day Spring Cleanup 2023 a Success

Thanks to our friends in the McKownville Improvement Association and the strong turnout of McKownville Fire Department members, our neighborhood cleanup 2023 was a tremendous success!

Despite the lousy weather, were able to clean up hundreds of pounds of garbage from the streets, shoulders and sidewalks of McKownville.
