CLEARLAKE, Calif. – City officials are gearing up to host the 11th annual Clearlake Clean Up Day this weekend.
The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 6.
Check-in will take place at Austin Park, 14077 Lakeshore Drive.
The city will provide bags and tools.
Community members are encouraged to form teams of trash pickers, clean their businesses and get rid of electronic waste.
City officials reported that last year's event had more than 100 volunteers and collected more than 70 cubic yards of waste, plus electronic items.
The turnout this year looks to be even better, according to Deputy City Clerk Adeline Brown, who estimated that between 200 and 250 people will participate on Saturday.
“Participation seems to get better every year,” she said.
The weather is supposed to be good, Brown said, and the city will provide plenty of water for the warm weather along with hot dogs and chips to all who participate.
To sign up or for more information call Brown at 707-994-8201, Extension 111.
