Town of Boone Designates April 18 as Annual Spring Clean-Up Day
In conjunction with Governor Beverly Perdue’s proclamation designating April 18 through May 2 as the statewide Spring Litter Sweep 2009, the Town of Boone will hold its annual spring Boone Clean-Up Day on Saturday, April 18th. All citizens are encouraged to join the Town of Boone and the Adopt-A-Street/Stream organizations to remove the unsightly litter that has accumulated along the streets and streams during the winter.
Interested participants may come by the Town of Boone Public Works Center, located at 321 East King Street, between 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to pick up clean-up supplies. Supplies can also be picked up prior to the event. The rain date for Boone Clean-Up Day is Saturday, April 25.
In recognition of Earth Day and as a token of its appreciation, the Town of Boone will issue free Earth Day T-shirts (while supplies last) to those who participate on Boone Clean-Up Day.
The Town of Boone will also be awarding monetary prizes to the winners of the Most Unusual Litter Contest. You may enter the contest by bringing unusual litter found on the roadsides and in the streams within the city limits to the Public Works Center on the day of the event. The town will also be giving out free refreshments from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. and encourage participants to stop by share the day’s experiences.
