MAYOR'S MESSAGE 2026 City Wide Cleanup Day Success Last Saturday, April 18, 2026, was the annual City Wide Cleanup Day. This annual event was brought back to life last year after being postponed in 2020 as the pandemic began. For this 2026 event, several organizations participated to make it successful: Oregon Bay Area Beautification (OBAB), Les’ Sanitary Service/ Waste Connections, Coos Bay Sanitary Service, City of Coos Bay, City of North Bend, and South Coast Food Share, including Charleston Food Pantry, Coos Food Cupboard, North Bend Presbyterian Food Bank, and the Salvation Army. Special thanks to the South Coast Shopper, Coos Bay Toyota, Coos Bay Library, and the Coos Bay Visitor Center for helping to get the word out, and the City of Coos Bay Public Works Department for helping with site set-up. Several collection sites were established throughout the Coos Bay and North Bend communities, where residents could drop off up to four cans (35 gallon sized) of garbage. Donations were encouraged, with either providing up to four shelf-stable food items or a small cash amount. South Coast Food Share can buy three meals, or almost four pounds of food, for every dollar donated. 2026 Collection Totals: -343 Pounds of Food -$309 in Cash Donations -6.71 Tons of Garbage Collected Between the pounds of food and cash donations South Coast Food Share will be able to provide 1190.85 meals for our community. The City of Coos Bay’s Code Compliance Officer spearheaded the event this year, modeling just how committed to our community’s well-being she is. I look forward to seeing this event grow as it continues to gain momentum in the years to come. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos BayPhotos from Coos Bay - City Government's post
