In celebration of Earth Day, the city of Leeds invites residents, families and local organizations to participate in the Leeds Earth Day Community Cleanup Saturday, April 26. This year’s cleanup is scheduled the weekend after Easter to maximize community participation.

Volunteers should check in at 8373 1st Avenue (empty field across from Kinetic) at 8:30 a.m. Cleanup will be from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. Rain or shine.

Volunteers will be provided with gloves, pickers, safety vests and trash bags to help clear trash, debris and litter from around the city. The event is open to all ages and everyone is encouraged to bring friends and family to help make a visible difference in their community. Sponsor Chick-fil-A will provide breakfast biscuits (while supplies last). Police and fire vehicles will be on-site for a special community showcase.

“We’re proud to host this annual event that brings our citizens together for a great cause,” said Leeds Mayor David Miller. “It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we work side by side to keep Leeds clean and beautiful.”
