Annual Spring Cleanup The Pride and Beautification Committee will be hosting its Annual Spring Cleanup event during Earth Week 2021, April 19 – 24. Folks are encouraged to beautify an area of their choosing by picking up litter individually, as households and/or social bubbles.
Logistical support and supplies, including gloves, bags, and litter grabbers, will be available from Public Works Services. Event participants will be encouraged to post their cleanup photos on social media throughout the week using #EarthWeekRWC. Photos will be posted to the Pride and Beautification web page. As an additional incentive, participants will be offered a free reusable grocery bag or reusable straw set (while supplies last)! In conjunction with the Spring Cleanup, there will be a free compost giveaway available to all Redwood City residents on Saturday, April 24 at Public Works Services.
