National CleanUp Day

Uh, National Cleanup Week in Australia, uh, no, New Zealand is also on her birthday on September seventeenth, and World Clean and Green Week also during September seventeenth.

World Water Monitoring Day is the day after on September eighteenth, and National Cleanup Day, um, September, uh, nineteenth, um, there, which is the third Saturday in September, which I mentioned a little bit earlier.

Then there's International Coastal Cleanup Day, which is also on the nineteenth, and Recycle Now Week also begins on that, uh, date.

A few days after, on September the twenty-first is International Day of Peace and Zero Emissions Day.

Volunteers with the Arizona Department of Transportation's Adopt-a-Highway program cleared more than 2.6 tons of trash and litter from state highways on National Cleanup Day.

On Saturday, September 19, more than 224 volunteers from 33 volunteer groups around the state collected 382 bags of trash from Arizona highways.

This tops the 1.8 tons of trash removed during last year's National Cleanup Day event.

Members of a volunteer group in Wickenburg spent the morning cleaning their adopted mile on US 60.

Savannah Waters, who adopted the stretch of highway in honor of her late brother, Jimmy Trey Waters, said it was a great opportunity for her family and friends to remember Jimmy, while making a difference in their town.

It's just so heartwarming to see everyone have a good time and see what we're doing for a good cause, she said.

Groups registered to participate in National Cleanup Day represented Springerville, Flagstaff, Payson, Marana, Sierra Vista, Bowes, Surprise, and Rock Point, among other communities.
