Clayton Cleans Up

March’s showers bring April’s flowers – and some weeds and rubbish, too.

Residents can help toss the trash at this year’s Clayton Cleans Up on April 21. Rain or shine, check in at 9 a.m. at Clayton City Hall to get a volunteer shirt and garbage bag. Fill the bag to the brim, then return to City Hall for a free barbecue celebration.

The Clean Up also embraces Earth Day. Volunteers can hear ideas from local clubs and organizations about enjoying area trails, recycling, gardening, conserving water and do-it-yourself projects. Make a morning of it with family, friends, neighbors and clubs.

Clayton artist Renaye Johnson returns as the designer of this year’s T-shirt, featuring a favorite scene in town. Johnson is a member of the Creekside Artists Guild and is the library’s art exhibit liaison.

The Clayton Pioneer and the city of Clayton sponsor the event, with donations from Republic Services, the Clayton Business & Community Association, Travis Credit Union and Innovative Impressions.

Download a registration form from the city of Clayton website at ci.clayton.ca.us and bring it filled out to event. For more information, call the Pioneer at 925-672-0500.
