Posted on Mar 04 2009
The Division of Environmental Quality’s cleanup brigade will be at it again, picking up trash at Makaka Beach in Garapan.
If you would like to volunteer your time to clean and beautify our island, please meet on Saturday, March 7, 2009, at 8am, behind the ABC store. Come join us and “Pick it Up!”
Volunteers will split into groups, cleaning north and south of Makaka Beach until 10am and break for drinks and then continue, if needed.
This month, outstanding brigade volunteers who participated in at least 10 monthly cleanups will receive a brigade cap and those who participated in at least three cleanups will receive a green brigade t-shirt.
This is a cleanup that should not be missed, so join DEQ’s cleanup brigade and “Pick It Up!” Let us work together for the health of our coral reefs and cleanliness of our beaches for everyone to enjoy.
Last month, 60 volunteers removed 1180 lbs of debris from Coral Ocean Point. The DEQ cleanup brigade began in 1996 and continues to maintain clean, healthy beaches.
For more information about volunteering, contact the DEQ office at 664-8500.[B][I] (DEQ)[/I][/B]
