“LITTER BIT BETTER is a week-long event held every April that invites our community to work together to pick up litter in Rochester. Volunteers represent neighborhoods, businesses, service groups, schools, faith groups, sport teams, clubs, and more. Teams scour ditches, parks, waterways and boulevards picking up tons of trash.

This effort started in 2007 when several residents approached former Mayor Ardell Brede with the idea of a citywide litter cleanup effort to build a “trash mountain.”  …

Litter Bit Better strives to have more and more people picking up less and less litter every year.  Through the annual event, participants learn about the negative impacts of litter to a community and to the environment.” The Co-Cathedral of St. John’s will be participating and invites you to help! Families & friends can gather at Younge Park (E of Fox Knoll DR SW, W of Fox Valley DR SW), 2571 Fox Valley DR SW, from 5-6pm Thursday, April 27. Please sign up to let us know you are coming! This is a family-friendly event and is open to all ages.
