Make a tangible difference in the community by helping friends and neighbors spring clean an even bigger Burien than last year.

The city’s twelfth annual Clean Sweep on Saturday, April 24 will also spiff up the recently annexed portion of the North Highline Unincorporated Area.

Volunteer from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and in return receive breakfast, lunch and a chance to win prizes. Presented by the city of Burien and the Discover Burien Association, Clean Sweep is sponsored by Burien Auto Row, Burien Press, Highline Medical Center, Les Schwab Tires, Prudential Northwest Realty Associates, and Law Offices of Lin, Schisel & DeMarco.

Last year more than 400 people spruced up Burien’s streets, parks and commercial areas. To donate, volunteer or get more information for this year’s Clean Sweep, call 206-941-7199. Or just show up at the event. Sign up early to choose a specific area to work on.

To participate, volunteers must register at the Fire District No. 2 Station at Eighth Avenue Southwest and Southwest 151st Street in downtown Burien beginning at 8 a.m. Although groups may preregister by calling Debra George, the event manager, group leaders must show up at the firehouse to sign releases.

Businesses in Burien’s main downtown area may dispose of unwanted items by placing them in the alley or in front of the establishment before 9 a.m. April 24 for pickup. Please call Debra George either in advance to arrange for disposal or afterward if items are inadvertently missed during pickup.
