Mayor Tom Henry invites volunteers to put the polish on their hometown by joining a team to pick up litter and debris from parks, neighborhoods, trails, roadways and riverbanks. The registration period now extends through April 21.<\/p>\n<p>Online registration is available at www.cityoffortwayne.org\/greatamericancleanup or by calling 427-1345 during business hours.<\/p>\n<p>This is the 20th year that the City has been involved in the national Great American Cleanup program, part of Keep America Beautiful. With the national tagline of &#8220;Green Starts Here,&#8221; volunteers of all ages will focus on cleaning up public spaces. The City will provide groups with garbage bags, gloves and T-shirts.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders from neighborhood associations, businesses, faith-based organizations, service groups, schools or scouting organizations can select a location or the City can place them in an area of greatest need. Groups can also choose another day if they make arrangements with the City.<\/p>\n<p>Currently about 2,500 people have registered for the event. In 2010, more than 4,200 volunteers participated.<\/p>\n<p>A post-cleanup party for volunteers with food, music and raffle prizes will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 15 at Headwaters Park East.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, call the City&#8217;s Solid Waste office at 427-1345.
