Read on for answers to these questions below. What is a Haywood Road Clean Up Day? A morning where volunteers work to pick up trash and recycling along the Haywood Road corridor with the support of Asheville GreenWorks. We alternate between the east end and west end of the road. (Clean Up Days this year are on March 31, June 1, September 7, and November 2, 2019.) How do you participate? 1-RSVP, especially if you are bringing multiple people with you 2-Show up at 10am at Pizza Mind, 285 Haywood Road 3-Eat some breakfast 4-Gear up with gloves, safety vest, bags, and tools 5-Head out to pick up trash and recycling along the corridor and side streets 6-Finish at New Belgium Brewing, 21 Craven Street, to return gloves, vests, tools and pick up your ice cream coupon or free beer (21 and up)! Is this a family-friendly event? Yes, although not recommended for very small children. Haywood Road is a busy street and it is important that you and your children stay alert and safe throughout the clean up. An adult signature on the Asheville GreenWorks waiver form is required. How long is the clean up? Generally volunteers are out about 1.5 hours, so you should expect to finish up about noon. What is for breakfast? Pizza Mind, Sunny Point Café, and Biscuit Head are donating delicious breakfast items for volunteers including scrambled eggs, potatoes, breakfast meats and veggie options, biscuits, juice, and coffee. WABA will also be proving fresh fruit. Should you bring anything? Asheville GreenWorks will supply gloves (adult size), safety vests, and trash bags for everyone. They’ll also have a limited supply of tools. Madden’s Ace Hardware has provided WABA with some trash grabbers, so those along with a few brooms/dust pans will be available. If you have your own grabber, a flat-headed shovel, or industrial broom, we recommend you bring it. What happens at the end? Finish up at New Belgium Brewing and return items you borrowed from Asheville GreenWorks, or WABA to receive a coupon good for a scoop of ice cream at The Hop West or a beer (21 and up) from New Belgium Brewing! We look forward to seeing you! Remember to RSVP. Your support of the businesses that support these clean up days is greatly appreciated....
