Amador County - The City of Jackson has announced its Sixth Annual “Clean Our Green” litter clean-up to correspond with Earth Day. Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22 since 1969, and is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment. “Clean Our Green (on April 25) is a community wide effort to give Jackson a spring cleaning by providing helpful participants with litter bags and gloves to remove litter in public areas throughout the community,” said Jackson City Manager Mike Daly. The Kiwanis Club of Amador, the Argonaut High School Key Club and Boy Scout Troop 78, all graciously volunteered their time to assist in the effort. The event is headquartered at Detert Park next to the Jackson pool, where participants are provided the litter bags, gloves and a free participant t-shirt. From there they can go anywhere in the city to collect litter and return it to the Detert Park bins provided by ACES Waste Services. The Kiwanis Club will provide free barbecued hot dogs, refreshments and other snacks for participants from 10:30 am until noon. The event is funded with California Department of Conservation funds granted to the City from the deposits on beverage containers. Recycling is also encouraged during this event.
