Manchester Sweep This Saturday News by Michael C. Hild - March 21, 2017March 21, 201730 RVA Clean Sweep is doing a Manchester cleanup this Saturday, March 25, 2017 from 10:00 to 11:30 AM. Here are the details from their page: “We will meet at the Manchester Courthouse at 920 Hull Street. We’re going to run through Manchester along Hull, Commerce, and Maury. More if we have additional volunteers. Please dress for the weather. Think layers. Bring a water bottle. All supplies provided.” If you like seeing clean streets and sidewalks in Manchester, please consider joining!
I’ll be out of town but will definitely join next time. I’m noticing a need to clean the flood wall walk with all the increased traffic from the new bridge. Will that be included or should I try to organize something? Reply
We are here if you need tools for your volunteers! There should be great weather for a little bit of community building this weekend! Reply
How about a Manchester Alley clean up. I try to keep my alley clean but the folks that like to go through everyone’s supercans think it’s ok to throw the trash on the ground. Also, half of the supercans on my alley are missing lids which means on windy days trash blows out of the cans. Yes, I have told the City many times. Frustrating. Reply
When I lived in Church Hill, we had a program called MyBlock where you were given a trash picker and assigned a block to clean up on a regular basis. I go out by myself sometimes around Manchester and I bet it would be cool to do a similar program here. Seems like there’s a decent amount of interest. Reply
Does not appear to be included in the plan for RVA Clean Sweep this Saturday. That being said, If you organize a flood wall cleanup, let us know and we will post it so folks can join to help out! Reply
Hi Julie. Clean Sweep is rotating through the James River Park System on Tuesdays. It’ll pop up soon. 😉 Reply
