Salem committee hosts annual Clean Sweeps Day
The city of Salem Beautification Committee will hold its annual Clean Sweeps Day as part of "Clean Salem, Green Salem," a program that promotes "earth friendly" activities in the city.
The event will be held on Saturday May 4 from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. and entails organized groups cleaning up various locations throughout the city. Volunteers can meet the event team leaders at Leslie’s Retreat Park on Commercial Street at the start of the day, or organize a group to help clean up another location.
In addition to the cleanups, Salem Recycles, the City of Salem Recycling Committee and Goodwill Industries are sponsoring a drop and swap at Leslie’s Retreat Park.
Free water conservation materials along with nozzles will be given to the first 50 participants that arrive.
All volunteers are invited to the Leslie’s Retreat Park for a thank you pizza party following the cleanups at 11:30 a.m.
