Spring is a time to spruce up … and clean up. Which is why residents in the Colony Square community will take to the streets for a Community Clean-up day on Saturday, May 18 from 8:30 to 11:45 a.m. Anyone interested in lending a hand are urged to contact group coordinator Patrice Campbell at 301-863-9355 ext. 103.
With assistance from the St. Mary’s Department of Public Works and Transportation, programs such as this are available to residents who want to maintain and enhance their neighborhood’s appearance. Clean Community Programs are led by volunteers and are designed to instill community pride by reducing litter, garbage, junk and other debris from within their neighborhood.
However, community leadership is crucial to implementation and success of the program. To set up your program or to learn about other ways to help keep your neighborhood clean, contact the County’s Solid Waste Manager at 301-863-8400 or fill out a Clean Community Registration Form, which is available online at www.co.saint-marys.md.us/dpw/thecleanteamform/thecleanteam.html.
Remember … A community’s appearance reflects on everyone within the community!
