Clean-Up Wilmington hosted two volunteer events in August. Once again partnering with Wilmington College incoming freshmen, 64 volunteers covered over four miles of city streets and removed 12 bags of litter.

During the regular monthly clean-up event on Aug. 26, 16 volunteers covered four miles of downtown streets and alleys and removed nine bags of trash.

The next volunteer clean-up is scheduled for Sept. 23 at 9 a.m. Volunteers will be meeting at the Municipal Building at 69 N. South St. for supplies and instructions. This is an event appropriate for all ages and skill levels.
