Lewiston’s spring Citywide Litter Pick-up Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 16, and the city seeks individuals and teams to join the effort.

The 8 a.m. to noon event will commence at Kennedy Park, where Public Works personnel will provide supplies such as bags, gloves, pickers and buckets, according to a news release from the city.

“The image of our city is not only affected by those who reside in it but also its appearance; the LYAC is proud to take steps in helping to beautify the city of Lewiston by participating in Citywide Litter Pick-up Day. Cleaning up litter helps Lewiston to act as a safe and enjoyable environment for all of its residents,” said Ryleigh Emmert, advisory council chair.

Free registration is available online at lewistonmaine.gov/litterevent, and participants can register individually or as a team member.

One team already on board is the Lewiston Youth Advisory Council.

When registering, options are given for litter disposal.

Safety guidelines also will be provided and adhered to.
