The City of LaGrange will hold its next monthly litter cleanup event this Saturday from 8-10 a.m.

The group will meet in the parking lot of 118 Brown St. to pick up litter around the area of the new city park under construction at the intersection of Hamilton Rd. and Brown St. This month’s community partner is the LaGrange Fire Department.

These litter cleanups are always family-friendly, free and open to the public. The city provides safety vests, trash bags and gloves.

City Manager Meg Kelsey began this litter cleanup campaign in April 2018 hoping to send a message to the community that the City of LaGrange is serious about cleaning up our community. This initial event was so successful the city decided to begin hosting monthly litter pickups.

Additional litter pickups are scheduled through April.
