The annual Spring Cleanup to Prevent Urban Blight or SCRUB will be held from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 16, at Hoover High School, 4800 Aurora Ave. SCRUB events allow Des Moines residents to get rid of trash and unwanted items for free. This program helps keep junk and debris from accumulating in our neighborhoods. Complete program details are available on the city’s website: http://www.dmgov.org/Departments/PublicWorks/Pages/SCRUBEvents.aspx

If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email to jason.pulliam@gmail.com. Please spread the word! Volunteer support is critical to making SCRUB successful!
