Clean Up Akron Month Kicks Off

Keep Akron Beautiful is celebrating 35 years of cleaning up the city and they're welcoming volunteers to get involved this month to transform local neighborhoods, streets and gardens.

"Last year, we had around 3,500 volunteers, and this is our 35th anniversary so we're really pushing to get even more volunteers this year," said Helen Douka.

The organization is also accepting registrations for their Community Pride and Litter and Illegal Dump Cleanup trailers -- which are filled with tools to help with projects around the city.

The 25 foot box trailers contain equipment and cleanup supplies for volunteer groups to transform local spots that are in need of a makeover.

You can pick any site in the city, but Douka is reminding volunteers that the fully equipped cleanup trailers are not for personal backyard renovations.
