<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - As part of the 25th annual Cleanup Columbia, community volunteers along with City staff will pick up litter along U.S. Highway 63 and Interstate 70 on Sunday, April 25 from 6:30 - 8:30 a.m. <br /><br />The group will be focusing on the area south of I-70 at the intersection of U.S. Highway 63. <br /><br />Cleanup Columbia is a city-wide effort to pick up litter along streets, streams, trails and in parks. Historically, Cleanup Columbia has been held on the second Saturday of April. Due to COVID-19, the 2021 Cleanup Columbia event has been dispersed with volunteers working throughout the month on dates and times that best suit their schedule.<br /><br />There are currently 47 people registered to help with the cleanup. <br /><br />City of Columbia Solid Waste Utility is supporting the event and will have a refuse truck on-site to remove the litter picked up by volunteers. <
