The city of Campbell is looking for residents eager and willing to help clean up portions of the city next Saturday.

The city is participating in the annual Great American Litter Pick Up on April 29. A national project founded by the Keep America Beautiful program, Campbell will be among 20,000 communities participating.

There will be five areas targeted for a sprucing up: Los Gatos Creek County Park, the Los Gatos Creek Trail, the freeway on- and off-ramps at Camden Avenue and Highway 17, along the railroad tracks near Winchester Boulevard and Hacienda Avenue and the railroad tracks along Rolling Hills Middle School.

Volunteers are also needed to plant trees and spread playground wood-fiber surfacing and sand at Campbell Park.

According to the city, last year’s annual cleanup saw 200 volunteers throughout the day to help clean parts of the Los Gatos Creek Trail, remove graffiti, and remove litter along train tracks running along Winchester Boulevard to Hacienda Avenue and Old Camden.

The litter pickup over the years has seen an array of organizations, residents and city officials cleaning graffiti and picking up garbage strewn along trails and in parks. Last year Caltrans, Valley Transportation Authority and the West Valley Clean Water Program provided support and recognized volunteers for their assistance throughout the day.

According to the city, 10 trees were planted and 100 yards of playground surfacing were spread on three playgrounds last year. Three tons of decomposed granite was added to pathways. The cleanup collected 3,160 pounds of recycling and 900 pounds of trash. During the day volunteers provided an estimated $8,000 worth of temporary labor.

Volunteers are asked to meet at Campbell Park at 9 a.m. to sign in and then be assigned to an area to assist. Instructions on safety and debris removal will be given. Morning refreshments will be provided, and the event will conclude with lunch at noon.

Gloves, vests and other tools will be provided. Volunteers should dress appropriately for the work. Hats, sunblock and clothing that allows for a full range of movement are recommended.

Children should be accompanied by an adult.

The cleanup will happen rain or shine.

Volunteers are asked to register so the city can get an accurate head count. Registration can be completed a cityofcampbell.com or by calling Jeanine Grundman at 408-866-2145.
