Volunteers are needed to make Neighborhood
Cleanup a success.
The Witherbee Neighborhood Cleanup is scheduled for
Saturday morning, May 12th. The cleanup drop off site
is on M street between 48th & 50th street, north
of Bryan Community/Hawthorne School. Cleanup begins
at 8:00 am and concludes at noon. The event will be
held rain or shine.
Bryan Hurst and Mike Kreikemeier are the co-chairs
of this year’s cleanup event. We invite you to
volunteer to help make the cleanup a success. If you
are able to volunteer please contact Mike
at 402-477-9194 or mbk@windstream.net
A few of the jobs that we will need help with are:
Volunteer sign-up/New member sign-up,
money collection - This is a "desk job". Two
people are needed to make sure volunteers get signed
up and report to the area where they will be helping
out. If members want to join WNA you would assist them
with signing up at the correct level and taking their
membership dues. You would also collect money for a
few recycle services that we charge for. Staffed from
7:30 am to noon.
Food table - One person is needed
to work at the food table. The food is donated by Braeda.
The volunteer is asked to help set up the food table,
watch over the food and offer refreshments to other
volunteers. Staffed from 7:30 am to noon.
Unloading/sorting - Several volunteers
are needed to unload items at the drop off site and
separate the recyclable/reusable material into the correct
roll-off containers. You will get your hands dirty.
Wear old clothes and bring gloves. Staffed from 8:00
am to noon.
Litter pickup - Many volunteers are
also needed to pickup litter in the public right of
ways around the neighborhood. We will concentrate our
litter pickup efforts along O street, public parks,
schools & churches in the neighborhood. Litter pickup
will start at 8:00 am and take a few hours depending
on the number of volunteers - Many hands make light
and quick work!
Litter pickup coordinator - This person
will make sure the litter pickup volunteers are directed
to the right areas in the neighborhood, passing out/collecting
the litter pickup bags and safety vests.
Curbside Pickup Haulers - As in past
years we will offer pickup service to elderly and neighbors
that have difficulty bringing items to the collection
site. If you have a pickup truck and can pickup items
in the neighborhood and bring them to the collection
site you will be awarded the silver star cleanup award.
We will also need volunteers to assist with the curb
pickup service. This job will depend on the number of
requests we receive for curbside pickup.
