County-Wide Earth Day Trash Pick Up

From 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22, Green Team Urbana will pick up litter in hot spots suggested by VOU community management and Urbana residents. (Download map.) We'll have gloves, trash grabbers and trash bags available behind the library and Harris St pool; you can leave filled trash bags at hot spot cones. If you have a few minutes or longer to spare, please join us!

If you can't join us on Earth Day, feel free to use our hot spot list as inspiration for your own trash pick up; if you'd like to recruit your neighbors or another group, the VOU office will have trash pick up supplies available for VOU residents. You can call 301.831.4810 or email services@villagesofurbana.net.

Please use your best judgment and caution, especially near roads!
