Great Neck Plaza Mayor Jean Celender announced that Saturday, April 26, from 1 to 5 p.m., (rain date of the following Sunday, April 27) will be 'Clean the Plaza' Day in recognition of the 33rd annual observance of Earth Day (April 22 this year). Mayor Celender stated that her Village's Department of Public Works does an admirable job cleaning our streets and sidewalks, but the downtown area just accumulates a great deal of trash and litter daily, and we want to highlight the issue of properly discarding wastes and helping to maintain our environment. The Village has had programs to bring greater public awareness of this issue, such as its poster contest a few years ago called "Just Trash It," which encouraged people to discard waste in appropriate trash receptacles.
