X-Fest Clean-up Saturday, August 7
August 1, 2010

X-Fest is coming soon!

This is the night we CLEAN UP MODESTO after all the spectators are done at this huge concert event in downtown Modesto. The date is Saturday, August 7.

We have a crew all set to join us at midnight in the parking lot on the north side of Center Plaza at the corner of L St. and 11th. The more the merrier - this is an all night job and one of our largest General Fund fundraisers of the year. There is room for a few more volunteers.

If you are signed up, or intend to sign up, you must bring with you:

  1. A group will be sweeping all the cups, napkins, plates, advertisements into the streets so the street sweeper trucks can pick them up. This crew also moves the boxes and trash vendors leave behind to the corners and edge of sidewalks. They place some trash into toters along the way.
  2. A group of adults will be walking around with blowers and blowing debris into the street for the street sweepers to collect.
  3. A group will be picking up the larger trash and putting it in toters to be hauled in a couple of our own trucks/trailers to the mega trash bins. In the end, we must haul ALL toters to a central location to be picked up the following day. We must replace all city trash cans with new liners.
  4. *Lastly - we are responsible to walk and patrol ALL parking lots and alleys in the downtown and surrounding area. We pick up all trash, glass, cans left behind.

*There is an additional sign up added to the "sign up document" to add additional volunteers that can't do all night. This group will primarily take over the walking of the parking lots and alleys starting at 5:30 a.m. With enough people volunteering for this event, we can finish in record time.

This year's goal is to be done about 7:00 a.m. Anyone interested can then head to breakfast at Denny's at 5 points.
