Volunteers will "Cleanup Columbia" this Saturday

COLUMBIA, MO (April 4, 2016) - The City of Columbia’s Volunteer Programs reports that more than 1,300 volunteers representing 113 groups have registered to participate in this Saturday’s Cleanup Columbia event. This is the twentieth annual city-wide trash pickup event.

Volunteers will be along Columbia streets and trails, in our streams and in our parks Saturday morning picking up litter. Each group sets their own start time for cleanup.

There is still time for residents to get involved by volunteering.  Those interested in participating can and pick up supplies and will be assigned a cleanup location Wednesday at City Hall, 701 E. Broadway from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. or at Rock Quarry House, 2002 Grindstone Parkway on Thursday from 3:00 – 6:00 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. or Saturday from 7:30-10:00 a.m.
