The Downtown Lexington Corporation will be hosting its Downtown Trash Bash, an annual spring cleaning effort, to help keep downtown Lexington clean and green.
The event will be held April 19, and volunteers can register anytime between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. at the Fifth Third Bank Pavilion, where they will be armed with trash bags, recycling bags, gloves and hand sanitizer (the first 200 volunteers will receive a free t-shirt and refreshments). In case of rain, the clean-up effort will be April 26.
Litter and debris collected from downtown streets, sidewalks, and parks will be properly disposed of by the Division of Waste Maganement and saved from being washed down the storm drains and into our local rivers.
The first five businesses to register 10 or more volunteers will receive a free pressure-washing of the sidewalk in front of their entrances. Only businesses within the daily trash pick-up zone in the central business district will be eligible. E-mail tamara@downtownlex.com or call 425-2592 to register.
