Canal Winchester Sustainability Commission schedules Community Clean Up Day for April 18; city to supply materials
Summary
The commission confirmed a Community Clean Up Day for April 18 at Stradley Park starting at 9 a.m.; the City of Canal Winchester will provide supplies and handle post‑event trash pickup. Will Bennett will be the public point of contact and Cindy Kolecki will secure a truck for trash collection.
The Canal Winchester Sustainability Commission finalized logistics for Community Clean Up Day on April 18, 2026, at Stradley Park, beginning at 9 a.m. The commission recorded that the City of Canal Winchester will supply trash bags, high‑vis vests and 10 grabbers, and that city crews will collect trash left at event sites after the event.
Members said specific tasks will be assigned at registration and finalized about a week before the event based on sign‑ups. Planned activities include painting a fence at Hanners Park, painting fire hydrants and picking up litter. Cindy Kolecki will secure a truck for transporting trash to the city gate for disposal, and Will Bennett will be the public point of contact for the event.
The events and volunteers subcommittee will contact local organizations such as athletic teams and scouting groups, and will post flyers around town; Hanna Detwiler agreed to help place flyers at the Canal Winchester Library Branch. Lauren Kempe drafted an online sign‑up sheet that will be reviewed with Hannah Woodruff and the subcommittee will confirm timing and any age‑specific sign‑up categories.
Other event items on Hannah Woodruff’s activation list — including April 25 activities (Prescription Drug Take Back Day, Backyard Conservation Workshop) and a May 2 Street Tree Giveaway — were noted, with commission members suggesting individual volunteer participation for those dates. A proposed Rumpke tour was deferred to the April meeting for further discussion.
Next steps include continued outreach, finalizing the online registration, and distributing flyers; several logistic follow‑ups were moved to the April meeting for completion.
