The city’s Department of Public Works on Feb. 18 began registering volunteers for the April 18 event. People interested in participating must call 311 and provide a specific location to be cleaned and the number of volunteers who will assist in the effort.
Trash bags will be provided to those registered. The department will collect the debris.
Participants have to fill out paperwork to receive the stormwater credit.
Registration for the annual event is open through April 9.
