One hour a week makes a huge difference, and volunteers are always welcome every Friday morning, when teams clean up a designated area of the island.
Twenty-two volunteers on April 1 gathered 40 pounds of trash, 11 pounds of recycling and two gallons of cigarette butts in an hour. Please see the schedule here for the next cleanup – and remember, Earth Day is April 22 and full details of the events for that day are coming soon.
All are invited to join the Friday morning cleanups from 8 to 9 a.m.
Parking is provided and all volunteers receive a 24-hour bus pass in exchange for their time.
Early Bird Cleanups take place in the following locations for April:
Friday, April 8 — Donald Avenue & 16th Terrace
Friday, April 15 — Custom House on Front Street
Friday, April 22 — Venetian Drive/Airport Blvd. (Stay tuned for more Earth Day events.)
