5 Ways to Celebrate Earth Day in Bay City!

Our friends over at MLive have put together a great article detailing different ways to celebrate Earth Day here in Bay City- here’s the low down:

1- Dispose of your unwanted items during the Clean Up Bay City event! Bring your items that are too big or simply can’t be thrown out with the trash to the Bay City Department of Public Works building located at 900 S. Water Street. Acceptable items include: electronic waste, polystyrene foam, household goods, furniture, clothing, building materials, eye glasses, hearing aids, books, cellphones, concrete, bricks, smoke detectors, yarn, pill-form drugs and scrap metal.

2- Support Bay City Little League teams and get some free compost! It’s time to get our gardens ready! Bring your truck or trailer to Veterans Memorial Park and get some compost! Volunteers from the Bay City Little Leagues will be available to help load the free compost and will be accepting donations from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

3- Help clean the river walk and rail trail! Beginning at 8:30 a.m. you can go to the Bay County Community Center to get trash bags and lawn equipment (provided for free) to help clean up our gorgeous river walk and rail trail. Make sure to wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Refreshments will be provided.

4- Join the Discovery Preserve clean up crew! The Saginaw Bay Basin Land Conservatory members will be out cleaning up the Discovery Preserve Center! Haven’t been out to the Discovery Preserve yet? It is a hidden gem in our city. Bring your children and check it out- 1701 S. Euclid Ave.

5- Run (or walk) the Eagle By The Bay 5K! The annual race kicks of at 10 a.m. and costs $25 if you sign up on the day of the race. Go to Finn Road Park to sign up- 2300 N. Finn Road. Proceeds benefit the Kiwanis club.

We hope that you’ll find a great way to spend Earth Day with your family!
