Keizer’s Environmental and Technical Team hosted the summer’s first Trashy Tuesday, an event going on every third Tuesday from 5:30-6:30 p.m. for the summer months.
Ten helpful Keizerites were in attendance at the scenic Sunset and Palma Ceia Parks where they walked around cleaning up garbage in the area.
“This year was noticeably cleaner with a lot less cigarette butts to clean up,” Haley Seth of the Environmental and Technical team mused.
Despite the cleaner status, the group still walked away with full garbage bags.
The monthly summer litter clean-up events are held in order to help keep the rivers and streams in Keizer healthy and clean. The goal of the program is to help build stronger connections with the community while doing something good to protect the environment.
Four more Trashy Tuesday events are still upcoming throughout Keizer parks and volunteers are welcome. Trash bags, pickers, gloves and vests will be provided to those in attendance and volunteers should wear close-toed shoes, weather appropriate clothing, please bring water as well.
