Cleanup Columbia will be held Saturday, April 14

COLUMBIA, MO (March 26, 2012) - The 16th annual Cleanup Columbia, a citywide trash pickup event organized by the City of Columbia's Volunteer Programs, will be held the morning of Saturday, April 14. Already, nearly 1,100 volunteers from more than 75 groups have registered to participate. Each group or individual participating selects their own time the morning of the event to conduct their trash pickup.

Volunteers will be along Columbia streets and trails and in streams and parks on April 14 picking up litter. There will also be volunteers working to remove graffiti from public property in central Columbia.

Following trash pickup, volunteers are invited to a picnic lunch at noon at Twin Lakes Recreation Area sponsored by APAC-Missouri Inc. to celebrate their efforts. 

The city's Volunteer Programs invites the public to participate in the event as there are still several locations that are unassigned. Residents may register online at www.GoColumbiaMo.com or by calling 874-7499. The city provides bags and gloves for volunteers and will pick up the filled trash bags. The city is also asking residents to report streets that are in special need of trash pickup.

Cleanup Columbia is sponsored by APAC-Missouri Inc., 102.3 BXR, KOMU TV 8, the Mid-Missouri CW, the Columbia Daily Tribune, CenturyLink and the Sierra Club.  Columbia Public Works, Columbia Parks & Recreation, the Mid-Missouri Solid Waste District and the Golden K Kiwanis Club also provide in-kind support.
