All interested residents and community organizations are invited to attend and provide information on neighborhood cleanup projects.
“Building a cleaner, greener community is what Earth Day is all about, and our annual citywide cleanup gives residents an opportunity to make a direct and positive impact in their neighborhood. Community involvement is a critical part of a successful Earth Day event, and I encourage residents to attend and participate in this year’s improvement program,” Madden said in a news release.
Each year, residents, families and business owners come together during Earth Day to organize community- driven cleanup and beautification projects at local parks, green spaces, and neighborhoods across Troy.
In 2018, more than 18 individual projects were organized with over a hundred participants lending a hand to improve their corner of the Collar City.
Earth Day will be on Monday, April 22 this year.
