Community Trash Clean-up
| Saturday, April 23, 2022, 09:00am - 06:00pm |
Join Pick It Up – Toss No Mas in Gough Park in Silver City from 9 am - 1 pm; Santa Clara Action Committee and Heart of the Gila at Viola Stone Park in Santa Clara from 10 am – 1 pm; and Representative Luis Terrazas at Terrazas Funeral Home on Highway 180 from 9 am – 12 pm.
Meet the Pick It Up – Toss No Mas team in the parking lot on the south side of Gough Park in Silver City at 9 am on Saturday, April 23 and pick up trash bags, gloves, trash pickers and snacks. Volunteers will spend the morning cleaning up litter at a location of their choice and then return to Gough Park between 12 pm and 1pm to drop off trash and recyclables and record their cleanup results. The New Mexico Department of Transportation will collect the trash and haul it to the landfill. Recyclables will be collected by Silver City Recycles. Pre-register at silvercitywatershedkeepers.org or register on-site at the event.
Heart of the Gila and the Santa Clara Action Committee are again teaming up to clean up Cameron Creek on Earth Day. Volunteers can come anytime between 10am and 1pm to Viola Stone Park in Santa Clara to be part of the effort.
“Cameron Creek is really a beautiful place, with native trees and plants, and we want to help make it a place where families can bring their children to play. We will be providing work gloves for adults and kids, free snacks, and trash bags. Everyone is invited to participate,” said Elysha Montoya, Education and Outreach Coordinator for Heart of the Gila.
Representative Luis Terrazas will be hosting volunteers from 9 am – noon at Terrazas Funeral Home to clean up Highway 180 in the Mining District. Trash bags, gloves, and vests will be provided.
Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes and bring a hat, water bottle, and sunscreen. Children 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Because children under 12 are not permitted on state highways for the cleanup, families with younger children are encouraged to clean up litter in their neighborhood, local parks or waterways.
