The West Carrollton City Beautiful Commission is holding the fifth-annual Rake Rally at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9. It will begin by meeting at the Civic Center, 300 E. Central Ave. They are seeking volunteers to help with the event. Please contact (937) 859-5182 or parks@westcarrollton.org to sign up.
This event helps West Carrollton residents in getting their front-yard leaves to the curb. Any resident who would like to receive help during the event should contact (937) 859-5182 or parks@westcarrollton.org and provide their name, address and phone by Wednesday, Nov. 6.
All volunteers will receive a long-sleeve ‘Rake Rally’ t-shirt for their service. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own rakes, leaf blowers, or tarps, if possible. Some materials, such as rakes, gloves and bags, will be available.
The service department will conduct weekly leaf collection at the curb line through early December. Leaf piles should be free of sticks, stones and other debris to avoid damage to the vacuum truck.
