City-wide cleanup following community breakfast with partners Groundwork Somerville and Comcast Cares

Join the City of Somerville, Groundwork Somerville, and Comcast Cares for the annual Spring Cleanup, on Saturday, May 4, from 9:00 a.m. to noon. All participants are invited to meet at the Blessing of the Bay Boat House on Shore Drive from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. for breakfast, a short speaking program, and information from local environmental organizations before heading out to cleanup sites.

Residents are invited to join ward captains and City officials in each of the city’s seven wards to help prepare the city for the spring and summer by planting flowers, weeding open spaces, and otherwise cleaning our community following the long winter months.

The Spring Cleanup is part of SustainaVille Week, which runs from April 27 to May 4. To learn more about the week’s programming visit www.somervillema.gov/sustainaville.
