SATURDAY MAY 23rd, 2015
8:00 am to 1:00 pm
Rain, Shine or Snow!
The City compactor trucks are confirmed, and now we need our usual contingent of trucks and volunteers to make this event a success. On the Saturday after the May long weekend, we will meet as usual at the Community Hall to scour all of Wildwood’s back alleys to remove the items that people have left out over the winter.
As a reminder to Wildwood residents: a group of your neighbours bring their trucks and they each take a couple of volunteers to drive through our back lanes and pick up items that have been left out.
Please mark your calendars now and e-mail <a href=”mailto:cleanup@mywildwood.ca”>cleanup@mywildwood.ca</a> to get your name and your truck on the list! Volunteers without trucks are also needed, so bring your coveralls and work gloves and join in. The event starts at 8:00 am sharp, and is usually all done by 1:00pm. It’s a great opportunity to meet your neighbours, enjoy some refreshments and help your community.
