This year’s nationwide Beach Sweep and Inland Waterway Cleanup is planned for Saturday, September 19, from 8 a.m. to noon and is presented by the City of Lake Charles and Keep Greater Lake Charles Beautiful—Team Green.
From 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., volunteers will collect trash and record their collections with data cards. From 11 a.m. to noon, there will be an event wrap-up with comments from Mayor Roach, including awards presentations, and refreshments at the Lake Charles Civic Center, 900 Lakeshore Dr.
“Team Green is asking for volunteer groups, service clubs, and families who will commit to helping cleanup one of our area’s beaches or shorelines, in order to keep it beautiful and environmentally safe,” said Mason Lindsay, Keep Greater Lake Charles Beautiful volunteer coordinator.
On Monday, September 14, at 1:00 p.m., Team Green will hold a pre-event briefing in the first floor City Hall Council Chambers. There, group representatives and participants can pick up their group’s trash collection bags and data cards and reserve their cleanup locations. Trash bags will be issued at the Monday briefing as well as on the day of the Beach Sweep at the Lake Charles Civic Center.
Waste Management will provide trash receptacles at the following trash drop locations: Lake Charles Civic Center, I-10 beach, Prien Lake Park, Bowtie Marina (Contraband Bayou), North Ryan Street at River Road, and Riverside Park. For additional information or to register to volunteer, contact Carmen Gordon-Williams at 491-1481, carmen.williams@cityoflc.us or Eligha Guillory at 491-9151.
