Takin’ out Kimball Junction’s trash—Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter’s annual cleanup

PARK CITY, Utah — Each year, volunteers flock to the Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter building to check in and help clean up around Kimball Junction. Sign up for a shift on Saturday, May 3, here. Upon check in volunteers will be assigned to a specific area, given materials, and receive additional instructions.

As the snow melts, it reveals trash that has accumulated over the winter. If not removed, much of this garbage ends up on the Swaner Preserve, which can be dangerous for wildlife and detrimental to the wetland’s functions.

Organizers ask that volunteers arrive anytime within their shift to check in and pick up supplies. Check-in for this event will take place on the plaza in front of the Swaner EcoCenter, 1258 Center Drive, Park City, Utah.

Coffee and light snacks will be provided by community partner, Bartolo’s, and all volunteers who participate in the Earth Day Cleanup are entered into an opportunity drawing for fun prizes and gift cards from local sponsors. Other community sponsors include Newpark Town Center HOA and Recycle Utah.

Prize sponsors include, Cupla Coffee, Park City Yoga Collective, Storm Cycles, Hearth & Hill, Bee’s Wrap, Skullcandy, Fusion Hair PC, Sterling Steakhouse, and others.
