A total of 801 volunteers participated in KTMB's Great Community Cleanup to help make our community a cleaner, healthier place!

Volunteers worked at 33 sites spread throughout the community: removing invasive weeds, picking up trash, cleaning up illegally dumped items from open space areas, repainted baseball backstops with 30 gallons of paint, wrapping 41 trees and planting 10 trees to improve our urban tree canopy, and spreading 370 yards of mulch to fortify our region’s natural ecology. Trash collected included yard waste, appliances, shot-up televisions, furniture, 357 tires, and more. Ensuring these potentially hazardous items get disposed of properly not only creates a more beautiful community, but a safer and healthier one as well. Preliminary results from today show that 63.5 tons of trash and 79 tons of invasive weeds and green waste were removed during the cleanup.
