Weather-

As we are approaching our Earth Day Community Clean Up Day, it appears as though we may get rained out (80% chance).

We will NOT make a decision to postpone until Thursday.

We do have a rain date set for Saturday, May 1st.

However, if your schedule allows you to pick up on another day besides the 24th or the 1st, please feel free to do so.

T-Shirts-

If you ordered T-shirts, they are expected to arrive this Friday, April 23rd.

We will have to sort them and we plan to do this as quickly as possible.

As soon as we have orders ready, we will call you to let you know they are ready for pick up.

Yard Signs-

Vulcan generously donated 50 " Please Do Not Litter" yard signs to our group leaders, if you wish to take one.

These signs can be placed on private property within your community to remind citizens as they pass by, to help keep the community clean.

These do not need to be returned.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.

Richmond County Government is partnering with multiple communities within the county to provide convenient locations for concerned citizens the opportunity to pick up garbage and clean up their neighborhoods.

Register for our county-wide volunteer litter pick up event that will be held April 24, 2021 from 8am - 11am. Individuals, families, businesses and groups of all sizes* *Due to COVID-19 we ask that groups be 20 or fewer per pickup site. We can assist you with multiple locations if your group is greater than 20.

You will be provided with a location assignment, bags, gloves, vests (if needed) and arrange to have your filled bags picked up! Pickup locations for supplies will be announced.
