Being Green
McAllen is going Green and so is AMF! Help us keep our City clean by cleaning up after yourself and encourage others to do the same. Why? Because a cleaner City means a cleaner environment and better place for us to hang out. Plus, we’re watching you! Some of our volunteers will act as our spies and if they catch you being “green” you might just have earned yourself a freebie!

Plenty of trash cans and recycling cans will be on hand to help you help us Keep McAllen Beautifully Green
