Clean Up Kokomo Campaign
The City of Kokomo is starting a "Clean up Kokomo Campaign" in neighborhoods across the city. We're asking for residents, businesses and churches to partner with us in this endeavor to make Kokomo a cleaner and safer city in which to live, work and play. It's been proven that a cleaner community helps assure that all three of those aspects of living are achieved.
The city will provide the supplies (i.e. trash bags, gloves, safety vests) to all volunteers who participate and will pick up the bagged trash and debris from the cleanup areas once it's collected. What we're asking from the community is to consider volunteering a few hours of your time to help collect the trash and debris along roadways, alleyways, ditches and certain public right of ways in the designated areas. I believe everyone wants to be proud of where we live, and I believe this is a great way to demonstrate our community pride by working together to make the environment around us clean and safe.
Those individuals, families and businesses who are interested in assisting us should plan on attending our kickoff meeting for the campaign on June 11th at Bon Air Park clubhouse at 8:30am. This will be the first neighborhood we clean up as we make our way through the community in the upcoming weeks and months. We only ask for about a 2–3-hour commitment, so you will be able to enjoy the rest of your day after helping share your pride and commitment in our community. Again, gloves, bags and vests will be available at the park when you arrive. Come dressed for work and then be prepared to step back when we're through and see the difference we will make.
