Earth Day Cleanup Event, April 22

Provided.

The City of Tehachapi is inviting the community to take part in our Earth Day Cleanup Event on Monday, April 22 to pick up litter around the Antelope Run Bike Path.

The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. starting at the lot behind Sonic Drive-In, 1040 W. Valley Blvd., Tehachapi. Trash bags, gloves, picker tools, and safety vests will be provided.

"Community pride is one of the things that makes Tehachapi such a wonderful place to live. This has become a joint effort between the citizens, local businesses, nonprofits groups and local government working together to make Tehachapi even better," said Tehachapi City Manager Greg Garrett.

With the winds in Tehachapi quickly blowing items from cars as people get in and out, litter is always on our radar, and we have several "hot spots" that are constantly addressed by the City of Tehachapi Public Works staff.

For this event, the city is teaming up with the Salvation Army and the Tehachapi-Cummings County Water District in the effort to keep our community clean and beautiful.
