from the City of Savannah:

Mayor Otis Johnson, city aldermen and other leaders will kick off the first ever Great Savannah Cleanup at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 26, at the corner of Waters Avenue and 37th Street.

The Great Savannah Cleanup will involve more than 100 citizen volunteers and resources from the City of Savannah, Keep Savannah Beautiful, the Savannah Development and Renewal Authority and Chatham Area Transit. This first cleanup will target Savannah's eastside, specifically the Midtown, Live Oak, Eastside, Benjamin Van Clark and Baldwin Park neighborhoods.

Clean Sweep will be on-hand with bulk item pickups, tree prunings, smoke detector checks, blood pressure screenings, litter and blight patrols, and warrant sweeps. The Property Maintenance Department will conduct Blight Boot Camps in each of the neighborhoods, training residents to become soldiers in the City's War on Blight.

Neighborhood citizen, business, church and nonprofit volunteers will help pick up trash and conduct litter assessments in each of the five neighborhoods. More volunteers are needed; supplies and directions will be available at the Command Center at Waters and 37th Street.
