The Great American Clean
2008
The streets of Riverside will take on a new face as we embark upon The Great American Cleanup Saturday, May 17th. . Hundreds of volunteers wearing bright orange vests will be out in full force with trash bags and grabbers in tow for litter prevention at various sites. Over 30 sites throughout the city will be selected and along Victoria Avenue we will recruit over 100 volunteers for planting Ragged Robin Roses. You too, can be a part of these morning events and for fun and rewarding beautification efforts. Get involved! Volunteer to become a “team captain” and organize a cleanup in your neighborhood or the area of your place of business. If you have a business, service group or organization that would like to give back to the community this is a wonderful opportunity to instill a sense of community pride and leadership that work towards the beautification of our city! All participants will receive a free t-shirt. The cleanups will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at pre-determined locations throughout the city. After the cleanups and rose plantings, volunteers will gather at Arlington Park for lunch, cleanup reports, music, entertainment, and much more! In addition, we will be announcing the winners of the Clean Campus Competition. With a 30% increase in participation this year, we look forward to hearing about the clean and green beautification efforts that took place on school campuses throughout the city. Also at this event we encourage all our Adopt-A-Street participants to come out and cleanup their adopted areas. Remember KRCB loves volunteers of all ages and we look forward to your participation. A beautification project in an area of your choice will truly impact keeping Riverside clean and beautiful, please call us at (951) 683-7100 for the Great American Cleanup! KRCB would like to thank their gracious sponsors for this annual event: WRCOG, City of Riverside; Public Works Department, Parks and Recreation Department, KOLA 99.9 and Honda Cars of Corona.
