City of Lakeport – Community Cleanup Day Success
The City of Lakeport and the Lakeport Public Works Department would like to express our appreciation and thanks to all who participated in the Spring 2024 Lakeport Community Cleanup Day on Saturday, March 30, 2024.
A special thanks to Lakeport Disposal, Inc. and their staff for coordinating a safe and well-organized event and for collecting tons of trash, recyclables and other solid waste materials. More than 14,000 pounds of unwanted materials were collected at Saturday’s event.
Lakeport Disposal reported a solid turnout of City of Lakeport residents and business owners who were appreciative of the opportunity to dispose of unwanted junk and trash at no cost.
The Lakeport Community Cleanup Day began in 2017 and is a semi-annual event intended to help keep our community clean and beautiful and to promote recycling opportunities. Participation is limited to City of Lakeport residents. Since the event began, nearly 20,000 pounds of recyclable materials have been diverted from disposal in the County’s landfill.
The event is sponsored by the City of Lakeport and Lakeport Disposal Inc., the City’s contracted waste hauler and service provider.
Thank you to everyone who participated and for helping to keep Lakeport a community we can be proud of! Look for the next City of Lakeport Community Cleanup Day in Fall 2024.

Where Do We Go From Here?
California Creative Corps and the World Premiere of Mendocino, Lake, Colusa and Glenn Counties, CA. Antic in a Drain (Artistic Director, Ross Travis), an Upstate California Creative Corps grantee, proudly presents the World Premiere tour of Where Do We Go From Here, a peripatetic zoological theater spectacle of climatic proportions. Humanfolk both young and old, bear your teeth, clap your paws and roll around in the dirt as you objectify and cackle like coyotes at the cute vitriol of your animal friends; ‘The Real’ Smokey Bear, Hooty the Owl and Bennie Bark Beetle, as they present masterful acts of anthropocene mockery. Suitable for all ages.
The Bark Beetle This Way Comes.
Where Do We Go From Here is a peripatetic bouffon spectacle that will be traveling 205 miles through Mendocino, Lake, Colusa and Glenn Counties on an EV art trike fashioned in the form of a Bark Beetle, stopping along the way to perform an hour long show to rural communities throughout the region from Fort Bragg to Willows. This satirical sideshow was developed through an intensive community research process; Ross Travis and documentary filmmaker Steve Ritchie interviewed a broad spectrum of individuals from the Mayor of Willows, an agricultural community and the county seat of Glenn County, to a group of indigenous women at Xa Kako Dile, a sustainable women-led farm on the Mendocino coast. The show combines their perspectives with Ross’ research into the non bipedal life of the region and the Extreme Heat Index to create a rigorous one man theatrical event where Ross plays fifteen characters and uses a powerful mix of irreverent comedy, tragedy, ritual, acrobatics, kinetic sculptural art and interactive ecstatic play to inform, provoke, provide tools for agency and inspire community action on the issue of climate change and its effects on the region.
