Auburn’s ‘Clean Sweep’ event will be Saturday, April 26

The City of Auburn is seeking Volunteers to participate in its annual Clean Sweep event on Saturday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to Noon, in celebration of Earth Day.

The community-wide cleanup initiative invites individuals, families, businesses, and service groups to help beautify parks, trails, and public spaces across Auburn.

Tasks will include landscaping, planting, weeding, litter pick-up, and general clean-up.

Participants must register in advance by Wednesday, April 23. Registration is available online or via a downloadable PDF, which can be submitted to Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation.

Volunteer groups may select a preferred project or be assigned to areas needing the most support. Registered volunteers will receive details about their assigned location by email prior to the event.

To start the morning, an optional welcome breakfast will be held from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. at the Auburn Community & Events Center. Volunteers are expected to check in at their designated sites between 8:45 and 9 a.m., with work beginning promptly at 9 a.m.

Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own gloves and tools appropriate for their assignments. Participants may also wear group-identifying clothing, such as matching T-shirts or hats.

The city encourages broad participation and thanks the community in advance for helping to enhance Auburn’s public spaces.
