Keep Lake Beautiful (KLB) and the City of Leesburg invite volunteers to help beautify Lake County by participating in a community cleanup from 7 to 11 a.m. Saturday.
There will be three starting locations:
- Veteran’s Memorial Park and Trail, located at 411 West Main Street.
- Berry Park, located at 2121 Johns Avenue
- John L. Johnson Park, located at 201 Mills Street.
Volunteers can preregister online to pick their starting location.
KLB will provide gloves, safety vests, trash pickers, trash bags and water to those helping to clean the community. Volunteers under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Participants are encouraged to wear proper attire, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Compliance with CDC guidelines is encouraged.
Since its launch, Keep Lake Beautiful has hosted or partnered on more than 30 projects, including community and waterway cleanups, roadside litter pickups, neighborhood and school beautification events, tree plantings and household hazardous waste collection events. Keep Lake Beautiful encourages citizens to take action every day to improve and beautify our community environment.
Residents are also encouraged to use the county’s Litter Reporter website to help pinpoint areas in need of a cleanup. The Litter Reporter is viewable on mobile devices and desktop computers, and lets users submit data about a particular area, as well as attach corresponding photos. Keep Lake Beautiful will monitor submissions and propose cleanup efforts and community events as needed.
