April is "Keep Iowa Beautiful Month." Help us keep our City tidy and celebrate Earth Day TOGETHER! Community projects during this month encourage Iowans to build pride and respect in making their communities better places to live and work through beautification, clean-up, and recycling activities.

Prizes will be awarded for the following:

  1. Show us your Team Spirit ... wear a team t-shirt, costumes, or anything to show you've got SPIRIT!    
  2. Earn the Bigg Buttowski for most cigarette butts collected.
  3. Snap a pic of Best Selfie or show us your unique find for the Finders Keepers recognition. 
  4. Ye Olde Bag recognition can be won by collecting plastic grocery bags.
