In conjunction with Union park, residents are cleaning up the alley between Waltham and Union park. Anyone who wants to help out meet at Union Park at 9 (or in the alley afterwards)
Berkeley Garden will also be doing a "Berkeley Shines" cleanup - getting volunteers to do some of the 'heavier' cleanup before next week's Spring cleanup. Anyone who wants to help the garden clean up, stop by the garden after 9am. Both cleanups go until around noon.
If you and your neighbours want to do some cleanup on Saturday, you don't have to "register". Get out and do some street sweeping and cleanup. Some brooms and rakes may be available at the BCA from the city. DPW will also collect bags form street corners until Noon - so as you sweep your front yards and sidewalks, get those bags out there for the city to clean up.
Looks to be a great weekend, so let's get out and shine up our neighbourhood!

Are there special bags we need to put the debris in or can we just put it in regular household trash bags?
No special bags needed - just regular black 2mil garbage bags will be acceptable. Just make sure the bag can be picked up - if it's too heavy for you to easily pick up, the DPW won't take it.
Being an alley is being cleaned out, I don't think they'll be a problem with larger items, but I'll check with the city.
