Those who want to help clean up fireworks remnants and other litter can join a cleanup of Biloxi on Saturday from 8 to 10:30 a.m.
Volunteers are asked to meet at the Biloxi Town Green, where they will be provided with garbage bags, gloves and water.
One of the areas of focus will be areas immediately north of U.S. 90, where many people parked during the Fourth of July fireworks and left trash, said Steve Gunn with S.H. Anthony Construction, a sponsor of the volunteer effort. Other sponsors are the city, county, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Half Shell Oyster House, and Desporte & Sons Seafood.
Said Gunn: “We all came together for the fireworks. We all need to come together to help clean up.”
Those with questions should contact Gunn at (228) 297-5262.
