The City of Alexandria is inviting residents to participate in its annual Clean Alex community cleanup event on Saturday, April 18.

The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. as part of Love the Boot Week, a statewide effort encouraging communities to help reduce litter and beautify public spaces.

City officials say the Clean Alex initiative gives volunteers the opportunity to work together to help keep Alexandria clean and improve the appearance of neighborhoods and public areas across the city.

Residents interested in participating can register through the City of Alexandria’s website. Organizers say volunteers of all ages are encouraged to take part in the effort to help make a positive impact on the community.
