There is a need for athletes, volunteers, coaches, parents, teachers and anyone interested in making this opportunity available in this area.

PRIDE Clean Up Week

PRIDE Clean Up Week has been designated for April 12-26 in Wayne County, according to an announcement by County Judge-Executive Bruce Ramsey and Solid Waste Coordinator Andrew Parmley. During this time, large household items, like refrigerators, will be picked up during a door-to-door effort.

"We appreciate working with PRIDE and the clean up dates that they have established," said Parmley. "PRIDE has been good to Wayne County and without them we would have had difficulties making the progress that we have."

Calls to schedule pickup of items will be taken starting April 1. For more information call Andrew Parmley at 348-8522, Ramsey’s office at 348-4241, Mayor Thurston Frye’s office at 348-5719 or the Cooperative Extension Service at 348-8453.

Commonwealth Clean Up

Anyone who would like to pick up trash along roadways or waterways should contact Solid Waste Coordinator Andrew Parmley at 348-8522 or the County Judge-Executive’s office at 348-4241 to receive garbage bags for these projects.

Commonwealth Clean Up is a voluntary effort and is different than the PRIDE Clean Up Week.
