Citywide Cleanup, Tire Recycling, and Electronics Recycling

Longview residents are invited to participate in the Citywide Cleanup, Tire Recycling, and Electronics Recycling events from 8:00 a.m. – Noon, Saturday, April 14, 2012. The events are sponsored by the City of Longview and Keep Longview Beautiful and are in conjunction with the Great American Cleanup, the nation’s largest community improvement program. All events will be held at or near the Longview Public Library, 222 W. Cotton St.

According to City of Longview Community Relations Coordinator Mary Jane Burnett, “Last April, we had a great turn out for the event with over 300 volunteers working on cleanup projects throughout Longview. This is usually our single largest volunteer cleanup of the year.”

Citywide Cleanup volunteers clean the street or park of their choice. The purpose of the event is to beautify the community by removing litter. Volunteers may register, receive supplies, and enjoy refreshments at a 8:00 – 9:30 a.m. kickoff event at the Longview Public Library, 222 W. Cotton St. To volunteer in the Citywide Cleanup, please contact the City of Longview at 903-237-1390 or Keep Longview Beautiful at 903-212-4KLB (903-212-4552).
