Fall is on the horizon, it’s beginning to cool down, and leaves are starting to show signs of changing colors. It’s time to clean-up what summer has left behind — from picnics in the parks, tubing down the river, paddle boarding at the lakes and just the general pieces of paper, drink cups and bottles that pop up all over. Join your neighbors to clean-up our businesses, our streets and alleys, our parks, greenways, and our fields in the 26th Annual Clean-Up Green-Up event.

The Clean-Up Green-Up Campaign runs from September 18 to October 9, and you or your group may do your clean up at any time during this period. We urge you to wear gloves for your safety during your clean up activities. When you register, you’ll get to choose a park, bike path, street, alley, open space, or a section of the St. Vrain Greenway to spruce up. Or, if you are undecided, an area can be assigned to you.

Join us for a Kickoff Event on Saturday, September 18, from 7:30 am to 10:30 am at the Parks & Natural Resources Administration Building, 7 S. Sunset St., Longmont 80501, to sign up for a location and pick-up your orange trash and clear recycle bags.  

Want more information, trash and recycle bags, or to sign up for an additional space? Just email Lore Blattner, Campaign Coordinator.

Let’s make our little corner of this world shine!  Participate in the Clean-up Green-up event!

This event is sponsored by the City of Longmont and the Longmont Times-Call.
