Keep Columbus Beautiful Week April 20 to 26 Mark your calendar for the third annual communitywide clean up and beautification blitz. What started as a class project for University of Iowa graduate students has become a tradition. The week includes some large group events but the potential for the largest impact lies with individual households and businesses. Keep Columbus Beautiful week organizers encourage everyone to use this week to recycle, donate, and dispose of unwanted items and to clean up, fix up and beatify their homes, business, yards and gardens. KCB week will kick off with a Make a Good First Impression Clean-up on Saturday, April 20th. This is an expansion of last year’s county road clean up. This year other high viability areas including The Swinging Bridge will be added as volunteers become available. The more people that show up the more that will get done. Volunteers are to meet at the north parking lot of Columbus High School at 8 am; activities will be finished before noon. People interested in volunteering or being team leaders for specific locations should contact Brian Cummings at 728-2750 or Mallory smith at 728-7971. The rain date for the Clean-up is Saturday, April 27. Monday, April 22, Earth Day, will be Columbus Junior High’s annual Keep Columbus Beautiful Service Project. Student in 7th and 8th grades will canvas the community in the afternoon dropping off free marigold seeds, picking up litter and sharing information about recycling, donation and disposal options available to residents. The rain date for this event is Wednesday, April 24. Friday, April 26 is scheduled for the citywide clean-up. |
