Join the City of Henderson in a community-wide Cleanup Day on Friday, April 21.
It’s a great way for individuals, businesses and other groups to come together to spiff up city roadsides, neighborhoods and commercial spaces.
The cleanup event really proves the adage “many hands make light work,” and City Manager Terrell Blackmon said participants can request trash bags that the city will provide. Filled bags left in pre-designated areas will be picked up by city employees as well.
“This event will be a great opportunity for you to show your community pride and help to improve the appearance of our community, which also helps change the perception of how others view our city,” Blackmon stated.
This local event is timed to coincide with NC DOT’s “Litter Sweep” Program and to celebrate Earth Day.
Local business owners are encouraged to join in by picking up litter outside your business, or along any city or state road where your business is located.
For more information on how you can get involved, please contact Henderson City Clerk Tracey Kimbrell at 252-430-5705 or traceykimbrell@henderson.nc.gov.
