Do you have any old junk computers and monitors lying around?  Would you like to see Cedar Creek clean again? Want a good deal on surplus goods?  What do all of these have in common? They are all part of Cedar Springs’ 4th annual Earth Day 2011 celebration!

The city will hold their Earth Day celebration on April 16, starting at 8 a.m. with E-waste collection behind Cedar Springs city hall. Bring all your electronic waste for disposal such as computers, monitors, keyboards, cell phones, radios, stereos, laptops, VCRs, modems, power cords, etc.

Residents will meet at 10 a.m. at the trail staging area on W. Maple Street (west off Main) to clean up Cedar Creek. Volunteers report to the staging area to receive their t-shirts and clean-up assignments. You don’t have to pre-register to work, but the first 100 registered get a free shirt!

After the cleanup, there will be a pizza party at noon the American Legion for the clean up crews, with awards for winners of the logo and photography contests.

There will be a city surplus auction at 1 p.m. Visit the city’s website at www.cityofcedarsprings.org for a list of items, and to download a registration form for the cleanup.
