NEWMAN — A successful District 5 Community Cleanup in the City of Newman resulted in approximately 15 tons of trash and debris being removed from the community Saturday, as residents and local partners came together for another major neighborhood cleanup effort.

Throughout the event, five large disposal bins were completely filled with unwanted items, trash and debris and hauled to the Stanislaus County landfill.

“Today was a tremendous success for Newman,” said Stanislaus County Supervisor Channce Condit. “Removing 15 tons of trash and debris in a single cleanup shows what we can accomplish when we bring resources directly into our communities and work together. I want to thank everyone who came out, participated and helped make a noticeable difference in Newman.”

The cleanup was made possible through a strong partnership between District 5, the City of Newman and local public safety personnel.

Condit specifically thanked Newman Mayor Casey Graham, Fire Chief Keith Bowen and the Newman firefighters for their efforts and hands-on participation throughout the event.

“Mayor Graham, Chief Bowen and the Newman firefighters were tremendous partners,” Condit said. “They didn’t just support the cleanup — they were out there working alongside the community. That kind of partnership is exactly what makes these events successful, and I’m grateful for their continued commitment to Newman.”

The District 5 Community Cleanup program provides residents with an opportunity to dispose of unwanted items while helping address illegal dumping, accumulated debris and neighborhood blight.

Saturday’s Newman event was the 30th cleanup organized through the District 5 initiative, which has conducted cleanup efforts across all nine communities within the district.

“Our focus has always been on showing up and delivering results in the communities we represent,” Condit added. “Whether it’s removing illegal dumping, cleaning up debris or simply giving residents an accessible way to dispose of unwanted items, these events have an immediate impact. Today’s results in Newman are a great example of why we continue doing this work.”

District 5 will continue partnering with residents, local governments, fire departments and community organizations to conduct cleanup events throughout the district.
