Borrego Community Cleanup

Borrego's community clean-up is held the first Saturday of every month, 9-10 a.m., commencing at The Circle and fanning out to nearby areas either on foot or by car to pick up litter. The Chamber provides bags and pickers; all you need to do is bring yourself!

New Welcome Signs

The Borrego Village Association (BVA) has been working closely with a volunteer committee to replace the aging welcome signs that greet visitors and residents of Borrego Springs. Originally installed in the 1970s, these signs are now faded, worn, and no longer reflect the vibrancy of our community. After an extensive planning process—including two community surveys and broad outreach—we have finalized three new welcome sign designs and selected ideal locations for them. Please visit the link below to find out how you can be

part of this exciting project.
