Monthly Neighborhood Cleanups

From Gallows Hill to Collin’s Cove, volunteers (in partnership with Keep Salem Beautiful) have been doing monthly cleanups to remove trash and debris. Hundreds of pounds of garbage are removed from the streets; we are very thankful for those folks coming out every month with grabbers and buckets keeping trash out of our local ecosystems.
