Residents can now sign up to help pick up litter around town at this year’s City of Stillwater Trash-Off event Saturday, April 29 from 9 am – 12pm. “This is a great service opportunity for our community,” Environmental Programs Manager Chris Franks said. “We have lots of families, students, neighborhoods, and church groups who team up to help keep Stillwater clean. It’s also a chance to get verified service hours.” Volunteers should RSVP at 405-533-8482 or email Franks at cfranks@stillwater.org with the number in their party by April 21 to make preparations for each group. Individuals are also welcome to participate. Volunteers will meet at 9 a.m. at the City of Stillwater Community Center, 315 W. 8th Ave. An award will be presented to the group that collects the most trash and hot dogs and drinks will be served at noon. Franks said the City will also provide work gloves, safety vests and trash bags for participants. The City of Stillwater began coordinating the annual Trash-Off event in 2006.
