Over 400 Volunteers Participate in First Annual Main Street Clean Sweep
Bluegrass Greensource hosted the first annual Main Street Clean Sweep on Earth Day. On April 22nd, city employees, small business owners, and concerned citizens from seven counties throughout the Bluegrass region came together to clean up litter during their lunch breaks to keep their main streets clean. Our first annual Earth Day Main St. Clean Sweep was a huge success. We had 413 volunteers collect 286 bags of trash and recycling from Anderson, Clark, Estill, Franklin, Garrard, Lincoln, and Mercer counties!
