Amador County – The City of Jackson is spreading the word about a new incentive that may prove this year’s litter clean-up day to be the most popular yet. Titled “Clean It and Green it,” the annual event serves as a Spring clean-up for the entire city. The city is partnering with the Amador Community Foundation to offer a one day pass to Disneyland for all those who pre-register to Disney’s “Give a Day – Get a Disney Day” program on the Disney.com website. The registration link is included on the homepage if the city’s website. Jackson City Manager Mike Daly said the added incentive may mean a record turnout this year. “We have confirmed already that our volunteers are going to triple, and we could see that number quadruple later this week,” said Daly. He stressed that the Disney ticket offer is only available to the first 300 volunteers who sign up to participate. “I think we have 260 people already registered,” he said. Daly said the event, formally known as “Clean Our Green,” has been renamed “Clean It and Green It” after the city coordinated with Amador County Solid Waste Program Manager Jim McHargue to include and emphasize recycling practices. Daly said “Green It” refers to a new emphasis on “awareness of positive ‘earth-friendly’ habits and energy use.” The program started about seven years ago after parents alerted the city to concerns about cigarette butts in and around the children’s play area at Detert Park. Daly coordinated the first clean up event six years ago along with the Jackson City Council and former Mayor Rosalie Pryor-Escamilla. Volunteers will be provided with gloves, trash bags, and safety clothing and asked to pick a section of the City to help beautify by removing garbage. The clean up is scheduled for Saturday, April 24th to correspond with Earth Day on April 22nd. The event is located at Detert Park beginning at 9am and ending around 2pm. Various community organizations will also participating by offering demonstrations and special projects at a Green Fair Exhibition to be held from 10 am until 2 pm on the same day. “The goal of all this is to make our town as beautiful and attractive as it can be,” said Daly.
