Where: Sharon Woods Blvd. and Brookhurst Ave. click here for map
When: Wednesday, July 25, 2007
Time: Meet at Sharon Woods Blvd. at Brookhurst Dr. at 7:00 pm
Be Prepared: Dress for outdoor day long activity. Wear waterproof boots and bring bug spray and sunscreen.
What to bring: The City of Columbus will be providing some supplies, but they are first come first served. Requested work gloves, litter grabbers, safety vests yard waste bags and trash bags. May need some rakes, garden shears, shovels. More info later on what may be needed.
This may be an ongoing project, as some of the other phases have asked for some help. We have registered this clean-up with the Keep Columbus Beautiful program. Click here to link to website.
Mission: To promote litter prevention, neighborhood cleanups, beautification efforts, graffiti abatement, voluntary recycling, and community pride for the City of Columbus.
Affiliations: Keep Columbus Beautiful is a program of the City of Columbus, Public Service Department, Refuse Collection Division.
We could make this project an ADOPT-AN-AREA program.
Why: Any city alley, street, median, interchange, or public sector property may be adopted. Groups, businesses, churches, schools, families or individuals may adopt an area. Groups adopting an area need to clean the area at least 3 times each year. KCB (Keep Columbus Beautiful) supplies groups with trash bags, gloves, and tools (on loan) to assist their efforts. After the 3rd cleanup, the city will install a sign acknowledging the group adopting the area. You give your group positive attention for the valuable service you perform! You help the City of Columbus save tax dollars by volunteering to clean up! In 2005, over 8,000 volunteers donated over 28,700 hours of their time for cleanups and beautification projects, amounting to over $290,000 saved!
Here are some of the groups participating in KCB’s Adopt-An-Area program:
Columbus Jaycees
American Legion Post 532
Bald Eagle Pass Patriots
Friends of Alum Creek
Tri-Creek Scouts Troop 622
BSA Pack 74 & Troop 474
