On April 22, the Rotary Club of Lincoln partnered with Downtown Bench (Beamsville BIA), West Niagara Secondary School and Jacob Beam Public School for a one-hour community initiative cleanup tagged the #Trashmob.A very impressive 103 kg (227 lbs.) of trash was collected from the downtown core by the participants (approx. 100 students) surpassing the 82.9 kg collected last year, thus helping to keep our watershed cleaner. The most intriguing collection was a toilet discovered by a WNSS student Patrick earning him bragging rights for heaviest bag.
Thanks to all who participated with much enthusiasm to make a tangible difference in our community. #rotarygreatlakeswatershedcleanup #trashmob
A second community cleanup will take place May 11 with Lincoln and Grimsby Evening Rotary Clubs partnering and completing a cleanup in their respective communities.
