Keep DeKalb Beautiful is inviting volunteers to come out April 30 for a cleanup effort in celebration of Earth Day.

As part of the “Great American Cleanup” initiative, Keep DeKalb Beautiful (KDB) will ask residents to clean up streets, waterways and illegal dumpsites, as well as help beautify parks, schoolyards, bus stops and other public areas.

The event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. KDB will provide supplies such as garbage bags, brown reuse bags, plastic gloves, pick-up sticks, safety vests and T-shirts, as they are available.
