To our Laguna Beach community,
We’ve seen the images circulating of the trash overflow outside our Laguna Beach store this past Saturday, and we want to address it directly. This is not acceptable, and it does not reflect the standards we hold ourselves to or the respect we have for Peppertree Lane and our city.
Laguna Beach is our home, and keeping it clean and beautiful is a responsibility we take to heart. We fell short of that this weekend, and we own that completely.
Since Saturday, we have met with the city multiple times to identify immediate solutions. Together, we are adding additional trash receptacles in our area and increasing pickup frequency during peak hours to prevent this from happening again.
We also want to be transparent: keeping a high-traffic area clean is an ongoing effort, and it truly benefits from all of us doing our part. We welcome and appreciate any support our community can offer in maintaining the spaces we share.
We are committed to doing better, and we’re grateful to everyone who brought this to our attention. That accountability, from both you and from us is what makes this community worth protecting.
With appreciation,
Gelato Paradiso 🩵
