CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Several street cleaning teams are in place, ready for the 10th annual Clearlake Clean Up Day on Saturday.
The event kicks-off at 8 a.m. at Austin Park where additional volunteers will be welcomed.
Volunteers will combine their efforts to pick up trash and debris, wash city signs and perform other tasks to help beautify the city.
Collection bags and tools will be provided at check-in, along with bright safety vests, which must be worn during the event for the safety of the participants.
The event will include an electronic waste collection site at the Austin Park headquarters. Items such as televisions, phones, computers, stereo equipment and other electronic waste will be accepted.
Registration Coordinator Adeline Brown said teams of volunteers have committed to several areas such as Olympic and Lakeshore drives and around Pomo School.
She said this year's effort will include attention for the area watershed with volunteers representing Elem Tribal Community focusing their efforts on Burns Valley Creek.
Volunteers from Bayberry Inc. got an early jump on the effort and have cleaned up Austin Park and Austin Playground.
Area business owners are encouraged to contribute to the effort by cleaning up their storefronts, parking lots and flower beds.
