KEEP BARTOW CLEAN & BEAUTIFUL!
Take part in the largest community cleanup event in BARTOW. The Solid Waste Department (SWD) and Keep Polk County Beautiful are partnering to kick-off Bartow's annual Keep Bartow Clean & Beautiful/Great American Cleanup event. Last year, several Bartow citizens and various civic clubs volunteered to keep Bartow clean and beautiful.
SWD has chosen Saturday, April 16, 2016 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. as the official Keep Bartow Clean & Beautiful/Great American Cleanup Day.
Why should you volunteer? Everyone wants to live and play in a clean and green community… and it's up to everyone to make it happen. Youths needing community service hours for graduation can earn more than 4-hours by helping to organize the event. Community and civic associations, school and youth groups, families and friends, hunting and fishing clubs, conservation organizations, business employees, sport teams and others can organize their members to participate.
What can you do? Bartowans volunteer to improve their communities and beautify public spaces by planting flowers, painting over graffiti, picking up litter along our roadways, ponds, parks and neighborhoods.
How can you sign-up? Download the volunteer packet at www.cityofbartow.net/clean-up or request a packet via e-mail at solidwaste@cityofbartow.net, or pick up a packet from our office at 2060 E. HWY 60. Questions? Please contact SWD at 534-0181.
