Hayward marks Earth Day with several April events

  • 2020-03-22
Residents of Hayward can celebrate the 50th annual Earth Day and environmentalism with numerous events scheduled for April.

Earth Day itself is Wednesday, April 22, and although all events are currently subject to cancellation due to health concerns, the City of Hayward is encouraging all residents to pause and think about their own environmental footprint and think of ways to become more friendly to the planet we all call home.

Residents can make a tangible difference in their community with the City of Hayward Annual Citywide Clean-Up. It takes place every year at Weekes Park, 27182 Patrick Ave. Volunteers meet at the park and are dispatched to various areas of Hayward to remove litter and trash from roadsides, parks, and waterways.

The cleanup is followed by a Earth Day Community Fair, where there will be a taco lunch for the volunteers and green-themed vendors will be on hand to raise awareness about local recycling, conservation, and various clean-up efforts.

There is also an Earth Day-themed Poster and Writing Contest, and an Environmental Award program to recognize those in the community who are trying to become more sustainable and eco-friendly.

Clean-ups such as these can benefit from local printing services for Signs, Flyers and brochure printing

The Annual Citywide Clean-up is due to take place Saturday, April 25 from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. Volunteers or community organizations who cannot make it to this event but would still like to clean-up their respective neighborhoods can call the City of Hayward Sustainability Specialist for help with cleaning tools and trash collection.
