Hayward cleaning up for summer

Hayward residents are invited to roll up their sleeves and don some gloves for the next edition of the neighborhood cleanup event.

The Hayward Clean and Green for Summer Neighborhood Cleanup Event is part of an initiative of the Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force, a unit dedicated to beautifying the city with regular cleanup events. The task force reports that its events have removed more than 1,100 cubic yards of litter from city streets, lots, and riverbanks.

There will be a free lunch for everyone taking part. Volunteers will be eligible for prizes, such as gift cards worth $15 for Yogurt Hill and $25 for Metro Taquero.

The Keep Hayward Clean and Green Task Force is urging volunteers to register online for the cleanup at the Hayward city website. Registration is available until July 23.

Volunteers can log cleanup hours as community service hours. It is also an opportunity to connect with neighbors and get some exercise.

There will also be information available about Hayward's Green City money and energy-saving programs. Brochure printing for programs such as these can be done at local Print shops.

The Hayward Clean and Green for Summer Neighborhood Cleanup Event is scheduled for Saturday, July 25 from 8:00 am until noon at Heritage Plaza, 835 C Street. The next Hayward cleanup event is scheduled for October at Weekes Park.
