Registration forms for the annual Monroe County Pick Up the Parks event are now available on https://monroecounty.gov/parks-pickuptheparks. The clean-up initiative takes place throughout the Monroe County Parks System on April 22 from 9 a.m. to noon.
Volunteers can register to help clean up the parks from the winter accumulation of trash and debris, reduce litter entering local waterways, and help get the parks looking great for the spring and summer.
“Whether it’s raking leaves or picking up trash, every effort makes our parks cleaner and safer for our residents and a better habitat for the animals that live in them,” said County Executive Adam Bello. “I am grateful that so many residents come together every year to care for our parks. I encourage anyone looking to give back to our community to sign up with their friends and family for a rewarding day that will ready our parks for the warmer months.”
Specific jobs include:
•Picking up trash/litter and/or loading up trucks to take trash off-site
•Raking/picking up debris (leaves, sticks, and rocks)
•Additional duties such as sweeping shelter and lodge areas and hard surfaces and mulching and weeding may be available at some locations.
Volunteers can sign up to help clean one of Monroe County’s 22 parks. This is a rain or shine event unless extreme weather is in the forecast.
