The first of 2020, it begins a series of monthly clean-ups targeting the Glen Eden neighborhood.
Volunteers will have an opportunity to win prizes such as gift cards for local restaurants. They are asked to use their own gloves and register to join the clean-up online.
Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force has been organizing community clean-ups since 2010. To date, the clean-ups have managed to remove more than 520 cubic yards of trash from streets, creeks, and parks.
According to the City of Hayward website, the group's mission is:
“…to preserve the environment and enhance the visual appearance of the City of Hayward through the joint efforts of individuals, volunteer groups, businesses and municipal resources.”
Brochure printing for events like these can be done through local printing services.
Volunteers qualify for community service hours, and the clean-ups are also a chance for neighbors to get together and connect. The task force uses these events to educate the public about how they can save money and energy with city programs.
The Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force community clean-up is Saturday, January 25 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Volunteers are asked to meet at Mt. Eden Park, 2451 West Tennyson Road in Hayward.
