Pick Up and Perk Up Downtown Clean Up

Published On: October 16, 2024

Downtown Logan, Ohio is a beautiful, quiet place to be during sunrise. The “Pick Up & Perk Up” program was designed to attract volunteers who are early risers and enjoy the serene setting of a sunrise. It was organized to beat the heat of summer by getting an early start.

Hocking Hills Roastery supplied free coffee to volunteers following the litter clean up. Volunteers were instructed to bring their own reusable mug. A member of the Logan in Bloom committee picked up donuts.

Promoting a zero-waste event was an important part of the litter clean-up. All the gloves, trash bags, and safety vests were supplied by the local Soil & Water Conservation District. Advantages to this type of litter clean-up included there was little to no traffic when volunteers started the day, curbs were easy to get to where cars are normally parked, it was quiet, and individuals enjoyed the sunrise while beating the heat of a summer day.
