Jan. 27, 2017 (Hagåtña) — The Calvo-Tenorio Administration is asking the community to drive carefully tomorrow as volunteers will be picking up trash along roadsides and other areas.
 
“I want to thank everyone who has committed to working with us to keep our island clean,” Governor Calvo stated. “As our family and friends are out there picking up trash, I’d like to remind all drivers to drive with caution.”
Work will begin at 7 a.m.
 
Volunteers will be recording the type of trash they find, along with where they find it.
 
“We hope to address the larger issue of illegal dumping on our island and that tomorrow’s Islandwide Beautification Day will spread the word that it is not acceptable to dump trash on our roadsides, jungles, rivers, parks or beaches,” the Governor added. “We need to change this mindset; remind our community that it is our responsibility to take care of this island because it’s not just ours for now, it belongs to our children and future generations of Guamanians.”
 
GovGuam agencies are participating in this effort alongside their partners in the Judiciary and the Legislature.
 
We also are partnering with the Department of Education, which has added Islandwide Beautification Day as a Service Learning opportunity for students. Please note, that all minors MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT.
 
More information follows, but if you have any questions, call Roe Ann Cruz at 475-9383 or Oyaol Ngirairikl at 475-9379 or 483-2003.
 
 
MATERIALS & SUPPLIES:   

  •  If you have gloves and such, you are welcome to bring those, but we will have gloves and bags to pass out at each site.
  •  There will be two colored bags, one for regular trash and one for recyclable materials.
  • We will have data cards, similar to those used for International Coastal Cleanup to build up the database of what is collected and where.

 
WHAT TO WEAR:  Please wear comfortable clothing, we advise long-sleeve shirts and pants, and closed-toe shoes.
