As part of Make-A-Difference Month, public clean-up events are scheduled all over Oahu.
The events are designed to create awareness of such water quality issues as non-point source pollution, while also encouraging residents and city government to work together on community-cleanup events.
All volunteers must be 12 years of age or older and will need to sign a release form to participate in the cleanups listed above. Participants should anticipate getting dirty, wear covered shoes, use sun protection, and bring drinking water. For more information, please visit www.cleanwaterhonolulu.com or call the Storm Water Quality Branch at 768-4319.
