Who is up for some friendly municipal competition that will help make our Maryland towns cleaner?
The Town, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Mount Airy, Maryland, will be hosting its sixth annual Let's Talk Trash Clean Up event on Saturday, April 18.
First come register in the Railyard (1 N. Main St.) with contest clean up hours occurring from 7 to 9 a.m. Participants are welcome to stop by anytime (even after the contest times) and work for whatever time they can. Students can receive service hours for participating in the event.
The Rotary Club will be assigning participants places to clean as well as providing snacks, water, gloves and trash bags. There will be an information booth with the water conservation giveaways, information about recycling, reducing trash and the Town's Love Your Park Week activities plus more!
There will also be games such as toss that trash where participants see who can toss a soda can into a recycling bin from the furthest distance.
We hope lots of local residents will be willing to participate because this clean up event is part of a contest with other Maryland municipalities. They will be hosting their clean up events on other days.
There will be three categories in which the Towns will compete.
1. Total number of trash bags filled/collected within a two-hour period
2. Total number of volunteers who participated within a two-hour period
3. Most unique trash item collected (Facebook visitors will be able to vote on the winner of this category through a post in late April/early May.)
The winners will receive a unique trash trophy created by a local artist using recycled materials as well as bragging rights!
We would love to have that trophy in Mount Airy for the next year so come help us clean up the Town on April 18!
