Baldwin Park to Host Enviromental Awareness Day on Saturday

Waste Management and Keep America Beautiful awarded the City of Baldwin Park one "Think Green" Grants to hold a community sustainability event.

Although Earth Day was celebrated last Monday, the city of Baldwin Park will be honoring Mother Nature this Saturday with a free community environmental and awareness fair to engage with residents and businesses to take action towards creating cleaner and safer neighborhoods to sustain a vibrant community.

The environmental awareness fair is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 27 from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. at Morgan Park, located on 4100 Baldwin Park Boulevard.

“Keep America Beautiful is committed to building and sustaining vibrant communities throughout the country,” said Matthew M. McKenna, president and CEO of Keep America Beautiful. “Waste Management is carrying our ideals forward in Baldwin Park through its partnership with the City of Baldwin Park. This on-the-ground support provides a vital foundation to creating socially connected, environmentally healthy and economically sound communities.”
 
The fair will feature free confidential document shredding, interactive family friendly workshops on topics such as recycling and composting as well as eco- friendly children’s activities. Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn about local community and business resources and will be treated to healthy snacks.
 
The Waste Management team will be on site providing free mulch to residents to put their green lessons into action. Residents are asked to bring their own mulch scooping tools and bags. There will be a two 50 pound bag maximum per resident.
