Community Clean Up Day 2012 will be held on Saturday, April 21st, from 8:30am - 1:00pm.

The Chamber and the Crystal Lake Park District organize this free event every April, in conjunction with Earth Day. It is held just outside the Chamber of Commerce's office, in McCormick Park - off Route 14 at the corner of King St. and Pierson – regardless of the weather!  Community Clean Up Day is a family friendly event; there is no minimum age restriction, if accompanied by a parent.  Pre-registration is not required.

Volunteers meet at 8:30 in the morning at the Chamber, enjoy a quick breakfast, then are given their tools for the day: gloves and garbage bags. Groups are dispatched throughout Crystal Lake to clean up the garbage left behind from winter. The trash collection and recycling efforts wrap up by 11:30 am, and then all the volunteers are treated to a hot lunch.  

Old, torn and worn out U.S. flags will also be collected and retired at a later date, in a dignified manner according to the rules of the Flag Code.

Would you like to get involved this year, either as a volunteer or a sponsor?  Contact Sue Bechtold at the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce.
