Keep Glenn Heights Beautiful Texas Trash-Off scheduled for April 4

by PegNews wire

On Saturday, April 4, citizens of Glenn Heights are invited to slip on a pair of work gloves (I guess you can see where this is going) and join their friends and neighbors at Glenn Heights Community Park (400 E. Bear Creek) for a morning of organized litter pickup along neighborhood streets and waterways.

It's all a part of the Don't Mess With Texas / Keep Texas Beautiful campaign, and the idea is pretty straightforward: pick up the trash that other folks have carelessly discarded while driving, walking, boating and (I suppose) flying across the landscape.

If you've actually littered yourself, here's a chance to get out and pick up that hamburger wrapper and redeem yourself. (It's never too late to get on the right side of righteous.)

The meetup is set for 8 a.m., with late registration continuing until 9 a.m.; cleanup sweeps will last from 8:30 - noon, at which time there will be a free lunch of pizza and cold drinks for all volunteers. Free t-shirts will also be available after you've done your dirty duty.

There's a final "trash inventory" set for 1 p.m. - 2 p.m., and then the rest of the day is your oyster - but be sure to discard the shell sections appropriately.
