Everyone will meet at the Missouri City Community Center to pick up materials (trash bags, grabbers and gloves) and assigned a cleanup location where you will pick up trash for up to two hours. Take photos during your cleanup and post to Facebook or Twitter as much as possible. Tag #KeepMissouriCityGreen for a chance to win a prize! Upon check in, you'll be advised as to where to leave the trash and materials when you're done. Return to the Community Center where we will have a pizza party and awards. Remember to bring your own water bottle to avoid extra waste with plastic water bottles! |
