Clean Up Riverside's Environment

About CURE

CURE is a program that focuses on promoting the value of having a clean city, raising consciousness of litter habits, and improving overall community pride and involvement.

Keeping our city clean and well-maintained will discourage vandalism, graffiti, littering, and crime.

Programs also include free door-to-door used motor oil and filter collections, free curbside appliance pick up and free drop-off days at the Agua Mansa Materials Recovery Facility.
