ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (April 20, 2022) – Town of Oro Valley employees will roll up their sleeves this Friday, April 22, and participate in an Earth Day beautification event from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Employees who volunteer to participate will be picking up litter and debris along sections of La Cañada Drive and Lambert Lane. The invitation to help beautify the community was extended by Oro Valley Mayor Joe Winfield, with the support of Town Manager Mary Jacobs, as part of the statewide #EarthDayAZ effort. The OV Public Works Department will be handling event logistics.
“Our goal is two-fold. First, make an immediate impact on our community by picking up unsightly and hazardous debris along our roads and pathways,” said Mayor Winfield in a statewide Earth Day video message. “Second, I hope that seeing Town employees voluntarily pick up trash on Earth Day will inspire others to do the same.”
Oro Valley joins mayors and communities across Arizona for #EarthDayAZ, an initiative spearheaded by City of Tucson Mayor Regina Romero’s office.
