Saturday clean-up: forty-two bags from Orchard Lane

Two volunteers sweeping a sidewalk marked out with traffic cones, a third working further down the street

Nineteen volunteers turned up at nine on Saturday, and by noon Orchard Lane had lost forty-two bags of litter, two shopping carts and a sofa that had been on the corner since August.

The youngest volunteer this week was eight, and in charge of the cones.

The clean-ups started as a way for families to volunteer together, and they still are: the youngest this week was eight and in charge of the cones. The city lends us the tools and collects the bags on Monday.

Next month we move to the alley behind the library. Bring gloves if you have them; we have spares if you do not.
