The City of Hartsville will be participating in the Great American Cleanup, the largest beautification and community improvement program in the nation, this Saturday, April 20, from 8 a.m. to noon, and beginning in Pride Park, found at 630 S. Sixth St.
The nationwide program, sponsored by Keep America Beautiful, counted more than 4 million volunteers cleaning up 20,000 communities during the 2012 event, cleaning up parks and other public areas, renovating playgrounds and more.
In Hartsville, volunteers will move through assigned neighborhoods and focus on roadside litter cleanup. The event is free for volunteers, who may register at Pride Park from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The cleanup begins at 8:30 a.m. and will run through noon, after which lunch will be served at the park. Participants receive lunch, a free T-shirt, and will also have available safety vests, gloves, and bags. Equipment will need to be turned back in at the park at noon.
