Macon Community Cleanup Set November 21 on Montpelier Avenue
MACON, Georgia – District 5 Commissioner Andrea Cooke will lead a Macon community cleanup along Montpelier Avenue on Saturday, November 21, from 9 to 11:30 a.m. She is asking residents to volunteer.
The cleanup covers Montpelier Avenue from Pio Nono Avenue to Mercer University Drive. Volunteers should meet at the intersection of Montpelier Avenue and Pansy Avenue to check in. They will receive cleanup materials and gear there before heading out.
Cooke also wants the effort to spread beyond her district. She is challenging her fellow commissioners, neighborhood organizations and residents across Macon-Bibb County to organize cleanups in their own districts and communities.
“Keeping Macon-Bibb clean is something we can all take part in,” said Commissioner Cooke. “I’m challenging my fellow Commissioners and neighbors across our community to get involved, pick a street, and make a difference. Imagine the impact we could have if every district came together to clean up our neighborhoods.”
The county describes the event as a chance for residents to work together, meet their neighbors and make a visible difference where they live. That could mean picking up litter along a roadway or organizing a cleanup in their own neighborhood.
Everyone is encouraged to take part. Volunteers need only show up ready to help.
