Volunteers Clear Litter Across Multiple Communities

Volunteers in several communities organized cleanups to improve public spaces and strengthen neighborhood ties. In Hendon, residents and community groups collected rubbish at five sites, while volunteers in Springbourne gathered seven bags of litter and began their event at the much-missed former Cherries Cafe, prompting a local councillor to consider whether the space could return to community use. In West Seattle, cycling advocates cleared more than 1,000 pounds of leaves from the Avalon and Delridge bike routes to reduce hazards for riders. Jackson’s Farish Street cleanup brought together three church groups to remove trash and overgrowth, as part of a broader city effort. Along Riverside Parkway, members of Zeta Phi Beta and the South Cobb Lions joined a community-organized litter cleanup.
