Let’s Come Together to Beautify Salisbury

Let’s Come Together to Beautify Salisbury


As a community, we all want to live in a clean city, but it takes effort from everyone to make that a reality. We can make our city more beautiful and sustainable by participating in any of these programs.

Whether it’s by cleaning up our streets or planting more trees, we can all work together to create a cleaner, more vibrant city for everyone to enjoy.


LITTER SWEEPS

Our Sustainable Salisbury team provides four litter clean-up events a year. This is a great way to meet residents and city staff while helping Salisbury become litter free.

Not only does it help keep our streets, parks, and waterways clean, but it also fosters a sense of community pride and shared responsibility. Volunteers are provided with pickers, trash bags, vests, and gloves.

Keep a look out on the City of Salisbury’s social media platforms for where and when to sign up.

Spring Litter Sweep - Saturday, April 22
Summer Litter Sweep - Saturday, July 22
Fall Litter Sweep - Saturday, October 28

BLOCKWORK

Nominate your block! Applications are being accepted for neighborhoods for the 2023 BlockWork event on Saturday, October 28. Applications are due Monday, May 1, 2023.

This annual event strives to bring residents and community volunteers together to build cleaner and safer neighborhoods.

Projects include carpentry, painting, landscaping and general clean-up in a one-block area. For more information, email blockwork@salisburync.gov or call (704) 638-5235.

ADOPT-A-STREET

This program allows people to take ownership of a particular street or area and commit to regularly keeping it clean. By doing so, individuals and groups can make a direct impact on the cleanliness of our city, while also encouraging others to take pride in their neighborhoods.

Participants will adopt a street within city limits, then given pickers, bags, vests, and gloves to pick up litter along the adopted road.

There will also be road signs created displaying the name of the group or individual adopting the street.

To learn more, email allie.thies@salisburync.gov or call (704) 638-2098.

BLOCKWORK

This year we are hosting We Dig Salisbury, a tree give-away event. Planting trees is an excellent way to beautify our city, provide shade, and improve air quality.

This free event provides a unique opportunity to make a direct impact on our urban forest. Participants will receive a passport. Once their passport has been “stamped” at all event booths, they will receive a free tree and be entered for raffle prizes. There will also be tree planting demonstrations.

Travel Mask Mandate

https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/masks/mask-travel-guidance.html

The Transit Security Administration issued a security directive effective on February 1, 2021 requiring the wearing of masks by travelers to prevent spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. Conveyance operators must also require all persons onboard to wear masks when boarding, disembarking, and for the duration of travel.

This Order must be followed by all passengers on public conveyances (e.g., airplanes, ships, ferries, trains, subways, buses, taxis, ride-shares) traveling into, within, or out of the United States as well as conveyance operators (e.g., crew, drivers, conductors, and other workers involved in the operation of conveyances) and operators of transportation hubs ( e.g., airports, bus or ferry terminals, train or subway stations, seaports, ports of entry) or any other area that provides transportation in the United States.

People must wear masks that cover both the mouth and nose when awaiting, boarding, traveling on, or disembarking public conveyances. People must also wear masks when entering or on the premises of a transportation hub in the United States. A copy of the Transportation Security Administration’s security directive can be found at www.tsa.gov
