Calendar

We are celebrating Earth Day by giving some love to Fayetteville's outdoors! 

Please join us at the Marion Orton Recycling Center for the Mayor's Earth Day Proclamation, followed by a family-friendly city-wide cleanup of our parks, lakes, streams, trails and streets. If you have a special spot you’ve been wanting to steward, now is your chance!

Following the Mayoral Proclamation, volunteers will be given supplies and a cleanup destination, then will head out to clean up Fayetteville.  
Bagels and coffee will be available at kickoff, and t-shirts and Recycle Something gear will be given out at the end of the event.
