Pottstown Annual Cleanup Helps Bring the Pride

Some Saturdays are just meant for cleaning, especially when it’s the annual Pottstown Borough Cleanup Day.

The volunteer event will take place June 1, starting at 8 a.m. until approximately 11 a.m.

According to www.downtownpottstown.org, residents and organizations are encouraged to join neighbors in the cleanup effort, which will take place at Borough Hall or Empire Hook and Ladder, located at 76 N. Franklin St.

"Residents and organizations are asked to join your neighbors in this effort to clean our streets and as members of the Proudly Pottstown family show how we can work together to make our Borough a place to be proud of" the site states.

Supplies will be provided for the event, but volunteers may bring their own, such as:

• Brooms

• Shovels to sweep trash into

• Trash cans with wheels

• Gloves

According to the site, volunteers will leave trash bags in visible locations around work sites, and the Borough will be responsible for picking up trash bags.

Volunteers are also encouraged to gather at Smith Plaza when they are finished to enjoy refreshments and the company of fellow volunteer neighbors.
