Want to play a role in keeping the Cape Coral clean?
The city is hosting its annual Cape Coral Clean Up event on April 22 as part of Earth Day, where residents can lend a hand in the beautification.
The clean-up event runs all day, as residents can cover whichever area of the city they reside in and make a difference in their neighborhood.
"Participating in the annual Cape Coral Clean-Up is a hands-on way to celebrate Earth Day and make a visible difference in our community," said city spokesperson Kaitlyn Mullen. "Every piece of litter picked up helps protect local wildlife, waterways, and neighborhoods, keeping Cape Coral a vibrant place to live and visit."
The clean-up is open to residents from every corner of Cape Coral, no matter where you live.
"This is truly a citywide event, as everyone's efforts add up," Mullen added. "While all areas benefit from some sprucing up, volunteers are especially encouraged to focus on areas near canals and major roadways."
To participate in the Cape Coral Clean Up:
• Visit the Cape Coral Clean up webpage for registration details
• Download the Cape Coral 311 app for Apple or Android.
• Gather your family, friends, and neighbors during any part of the day, and work at your own pace to clean up the areas near you that need it most.
• Once you've finished cleaning up, gather your bagged trash in one location and log it in the Cape Coral 311 app for the city to collect and dispose of.
• Take photos of you, your group, and your collected trash. Then share them on social media, and tag the city on Facebook , or on Instagram @CityofCapeCoralGov.
“Keeping Cape Coral clean is everyone's responsibility," Mullen said. "When residents, businesses, and city staff work together, it strengthens civic pride and environmental stewardship.
"The success of this event isn't about how many people participate, but about the collective pride and care everyone shows for Cape Coral. One person can truly make a difference in their own neighborhood. Every small action contributes to a cleaner, more beautiful city, and those individual efforts inspire others to follow suit."
