Hurie Park 2564+VR Petersburg, Illinois, Petersburg, IL, United StatesJoin the Menard County Trails and Greenways (MCTG) and Petersburg Athletic Association’s (PAA) Trash Task Force as we clean up litter around Petersburg! Due to rain last weekend, our clean-up is rescheduled to this Sunday, April 10, from 1 pm - 3:30 pm. We will pick up litter at several parks and spaces around town. We need your help! Meet at Hurie Park (just east of County Market) to register and pick up supplies. We will be clearing out litter from the parks and surrounding vacant lots. Whether you have 30 minutes or a full hour, every little bit counts! To thank you for helping to keep our community clean, and on a first-come, first-serve basis, we will give away a free reusable tote bag to each participating family and a free DQ coupon to every participant (while supplies last). With Earth Day approaching on April 22, we encourage everyone to take some time this month to clean up around your neighborhood. Earth Day was established in 1970 and is an annual, worldwide event to raise awareness about issues affecting our land, air, and water. Whether you join us on April 10 or clean up litter on your own, we have some general rules of thumb to share with you: Be safe! Take precautions, including wearing sturdy gloves and being careful on riverbanks or near roads. Adults should handle dangerous items and supervise children closely. Properly dispose of all litter. During the clean-up on April 10, litter collected can be dropped at dumpsters at Hurie Park or the girls ball diamond. If you clean up around your neighborhood, please dispose of the litter with your household trash. Share the good news by posting a picture of your work or simply talking with friends and family about your efforts. You may inspire others! It takes all of us to keep our community clean
