Family Clean Up Kits available from Parks and Rec

Mar. 17—BEMIDJI — The city of Bemidji Parks and Recreation Department is offering Family Clean Up Kits to the community to help keep parks and trails beautiful and clean.

Each kit includes:

* Three garbage pickers

* Garbage bags

* A bucket

There is a deposit of $10, but participants will receive the deposit back once they have returned their kit. Garbage bags can be left in the area where participants are cleaning or it can be taken with them and disposed of.

Participants are invited to take a picture of their crew, with the bucket included, and then send it to the Parks and Recreation Department for a chance to win some Park and Rec swag, a release said.

Kits can be reserved Friday-Monday (pick up Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.) with a no contact pick up area outside the front door at the Public Works Facility, 1351 Fifth St.
