Youngstown South Side cleanup event is Saturday

YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown Inner City Garden at 3406 Hillman St. is teaming up with Green Youngstown, the city’s recycling and litter prevention unit, to clean up the area around the garden from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Being cleaned are the vacant lots across the street from the garden and the abandoned house next to it on the city’s South Side.

Volunteers are needed to help cut the grass, and to remove weeds, brush and debris.

Food will be provided to those participating.

The city’s street department will pick up the brush and garbage Monday.
