Volunteers will pick up trash Saturday for Rochester Clean Sweep
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Volunteers will work to pick up trash on Saturday for the annual Rochester Clean Sweep.
Community groups, sports teams, businesses, churches, and youth groups often take part in the Clean Sweep. Volunteers will meet at Innovative Field on Morrie Silver Way at 8 a.m. That’s where they’ll join the group that they’re volunteering with or get assigned to a team.
Volunteers will also get a free Clean Sweep t-shirt and a light breakfast before boarding buses. At the project sites, gloves, tools, and bags will be available. Once the project is done, buses will bring the volunteers back to Innovative Field to enjoy a free Red Wings game and lunch.
Groups or individual volunteers can register online here. You can also call 311 to register or (585)-428-5990 if you’re outside city limits.
The city recommends that volunteers wear hard-soled shoes, long pants, and other appropriate clothing for working outdoors. Volunteers can bring their own work gloves. High school students can earn participation in government credit for taking part.
