Clean-up committee seeking volunteers, donations from community
The date for the city’s annual clean up has been set for May 2, about two and a half months away.
While there’s plenty of litter, old tires and discarded appliances that need to be removed from neighborhoods, there may not be a lot of money that the city puts up to cover the costs of the event.
That mean’s a lot more planning for the clean-up committee.
Last year’s event involved about 400 volunteers, but cost the city a little more than $23,000 in payroll, materials and garbage hauling fees. The committee is looking toward the community to take the lead to provide donations of gloves, garbage bags and lots of volunteers.
The next planning session is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 20, at the Neighborhood Housing Services next to McDonald’s on Martin Luther King Boulevard.
