Community Clean Up Day - Crystal Lake

Don’t miss the 20th annual Crystal Lake Community Clean Up Day, to be held on Saturday, April 23rd, from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. This event is hosted by the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce and the Crystal Lake Park District, along with event sponsor, Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.

 

Groups, families and friends are encouraged to participate in this free community activity.  Help beautify our city by collecting the trash that winter has left behind.  Volunteers will meet at the Crystal Lake Chamber office at 427 W. Virginia Street Crystal Lake, where they will be dispatched throughout the area.  A light breakfast and hot lunch will be provided.

Please bring your old, torn, and worn out U.S. flags, too; they will be collected and retired in a respectful manner.
