Upholding Commerce's Reputation as a Model City

Bridge Publications joins forces with the City of Commerce and Caltrans to take care of the environment

COMMERCE, Calif. - eTradeWire -- The City of Commerce, known as the Model City, houses a large diversity of businesses. Being mainly industrial, some areas tend to attract trash from those disposing waste.

Observing debris along the on-ramps which lead to the I-710 highway, the Mayor of Commerce, Mr. Hugo Argumedo, decided to do something about it.

He partnered with Bridge Publications, the all-digital in-house printing facility for author L. Ron Hubbard's non-fiction works, and together they organized a clean-up of the Northbound I-710/Washington Blvd ramp.

The City of Commerce and Caltrans arranged the tools, safety equipment and trucks.

On a sunny spring morning, volunteers shoveled, picked up and hauled all the trash on site. The team collected and disposed of 58 bags of waste, tree branches and a car bumper.

In addition to the Mayor and Bridge Publications staff, volunteers included:
  • Youth from the Explorer Program of the East L.A. Sheriff's Department
  • Members of the Evening Commerce Lions Club
  • Leader of the El Sabor del Michoacán
  • Staff from Golden State Connections

A special acknowledgement goes to Sergeant Ibarra and his colleague from the East L.A. Sheriff Department who kept everyone safe.
