Mill Valley Residents Clean Up!

In 2025, the City of Mill Valley and its many grateful residents celebrated its 125th Anniversary of Incorporation. Our message was inclusive to include the unincorporated areas of 94941 and we echoed Mayor Stephen Burke’s motto of “9494ALL.”

While Clean Mill Valley’s efforts have been primarily focused within today’s city limits, we are actively engaged with the Tamalpais Valley Improvement Club’s adoption of the Manzanita Park and Ride lot for their monthly cleanups. Clean Mill Valley is responsible for the West Seminary Park and Ride lot with both of these projects having been officially adopted through CalTrans.

Mill Valley resident, Chris Caproni, has recently adopted two much needed heavily littered areas from CalTrans. The East Seminary Park and Ride lot had temporarily been cleaned by our members caring for the West Seminary Park and Ride lot and now Chris has taken responsibility for the East side.

In addition, he has also signed up for the roadside from Highway 1 to Highway 101 South, from the Fireside property to the Buckeye Restaurant. Chris has also been seen around town and elsewhere in Strawberry removing litter. We’re grateful for his and friend Gary Ferroni’s involvement, which translated to collecting 40 gallons of litter in 90 minutes.

The photo above of spilled trash behind a Mill Valley business on Miller Avenue was taken by Chris Caproni. The photo on the right by Joan Murray shows the area after the cleanup. It could be crows, raccoons or humans responsible for the mess. We make every effort to insure that it doesn’t find its way into the adjacent creek and/or continue to be a blight in our town.
