If you enjoy the outdoors and take pride in your community, then you’re the very person to help volunteer in The Cov for Saturday’s Great American Cleanup event, Covington’s largest annual volunteer day of service.
This year, Keep Covington Beautiful (KCB), a program of The Center for Great Neighborhoods, partners with the City of Covington’s Solid Waste & Recycling and Urban Forestry Divisions to organize the local version of the Great American Cleanup, inspiring hundreds of volunteers across 15 locations in Covington.
This year’s event takes place from 9 a.m. to noon, on Saturday, April 26.
Locations registered for the event include:
- Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky
- Hellmann Creative Center
- Botany Hills
- Austinburg
- Benton Road
- Westside
- Old Seminary Square
- Levassor Park
- Mutter Gottes
- Peaselburg
- Randolph Park Pollinator Garden
- Wheeler Street
- Garrard and Scott Street
Holmes High School and Wallace Woods will hold their own cleanups, although neither site is accepting outside volunteers.
Here’s the Covington Great American Cleanup webpage, full of good information about the event.
They are currently not excepting anymore sites, however, volunteers or volunteer groups can register here to be assigned to one of the cleanup sites.
