Downtown Community Cleanup Set for May 30-31

Heart of the City will be hosting walking tours of the downtown area for incoming Ball State University students beginning the first week of June.

We want to put our best foot forward as we welcome these families to our city, so we are hosting a Downtown Cleanup May 30th & 31st, from 9:00AM to 3:00PM.

What we need most is volunteers, but there are also some costs we need to cover.

The project will entail trash pickup, and pressure washing sidewalks, curbs and gutters.

Muncie Sanitary District will be running street sweepers, providing materials for trash pickup and hauling away trash.

Donations are requested for equipment rental, fuel, cleaning supplies, and refreshments for volunteers. Some businesses have already stepped forward to help fulfill these needs:

A Rental Service - (765) 282-2386 - is providing half of their pressure washer fleet, and at a steep discount.

The Fickle Peach has offered to cover the Sanitary District's costs for running the street sweeper.

We'll add more businesses to the list as they come on board.

Donations to Heart of the City/Downtown Development are tax-deductible.

Here's the schedule:

Saturday, May 30th, 9:00AM-3:00PM
