PLUM CLEAN-UP DAY H ave you ever wondered how long it takes to eat a hamburger from a fast food on Route 286? Drive up New Texas Road from 286 and this question will be answered…it actually doesn’t take very long! In conjunction with Earth Day, Plum Borough will hold its 5th Annual Spring Clean-Up Day on Saturday April 18th. There is no better way to make Plum a better place to live and work than joining your neighbors for this event. This is great event for church groups, scout groups, athletic teams, homeowners associations, clubs and businesses to play an active role in cleaning up the community. Every year volunteers collect well over a hundred bags of garbage along the roads in the Borough. This waste is generated for the most part by people throwing items out of their vehicles. Come out and make a difference in your community! Volunteers and volunteer groups should register by calling the Borough Office at 412.795.6800 ext. 4204 or email plumcleanup@ plumboro.com. The sooner you sign up the sooner you can be assigned a specific area to clean. Early registration also allows the Borough to make sure it has enough gloves, bags and other materials for the volunteers. Last year all the supplies were gone within a half hour of the start of check-in. Volunteers interested in participating in this event are asked to check-in at the Borough’s Public Works facility on Old Mine Road starting at 8:00 am. There will be light refreshments as well as a chance for your group to appear on the Plum TV segment that will be recorded that day. Take an hour or two out of your day to help celebrate Earth Day! 30 PLUM
