Would Salem be interested in a community trash pickup day (or multiple)?

Hey Salem!

I’ve been driving around today and noticed a lot of trash in parking lots, sidewalks, streets, and even in the plants along the roads. Last week, I saw u/ManWithACanWV’s post, and it made me realize how much of a difference just one person can make. I also remember that this subreddit organized trash pickup days a few years ago, and I was wondering if there’s interest in bringing that back.

Would anyone be up for a community trash pickup day (or multiple days) where we organize groups to clean up different areas around Salem? It could also be as simple as taking a walk down your road with a trash bag and picking up as much as you can fit.

If we get enough interest, I’d love to reach out to local businesses for sponsorships. Maybe restaurants could donate food for volunteers, the county could help with free disposal, and local stores could pitch in supplies like trash bags and gloves.
