Cordova Cleanup Day is back

CHS students take the lead — join them 10 a.m. to noon April 23

The Cordova High School Student Council in conjunction with the Cordova Chamber of Commerce and community partners is pleased to announce that the annual community-wide event, Cordova Clean-Up Day, will return this year as an in-person one-day event 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 23. Please note that the City’s Free Dump Day (for safe disposal of items from personal property) is scheduled as a separate event on Sept. 24. The focus of Cordova Cleanup Day is to clean our shared public spaces by picking up loose trash around town. Let’s spring clean our town and have fun while doing it!

Participants should arrive at Cordova High School between 10 a.m. and noon to pick up trash collection bags and disposable gloves. Specially-marked dumpsters will be placed in town for volunteers to drop their full Cleanup Day bags.

All Cordova Cleanup Day participants will be entered into a raffle drawing to win gift cards to local Cordova businesses. To be entered to win prizes, please make sure to fill out the Cleanup Day online registration form, links to which will be available at the high school when you pick up trash bags and gloves. Student Council representatives will be available on-site to help with online registration and can answer any questions. Come pitch in to help make our shared public spaces a bit cleaner and win some fun prizes.
