Get ready for spring cleaning.

Minneapolis residents are invited to help clean up their local parks and neighborhoods at the city’s annual Earth Day Clean-Up on April 20.

There will be events at parks throughout the city with four main sites to rally volunteers for the clean-up. The primary site in Southwest will be at Lake Harriet, where volunteers will gather at the bandshell parking lot.

All clean-up events will take place between 9:30 a.m. and noon. No registration is required, and bags and gloves are provided for volunteers at all sites.

The Earth Day Clean-Up was launched in 1995 with a goal of drawing attention to water quality in Minneapolis’ lakes. More than 140,000 pounds of garbage have been removed from city parks since the event began, according to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.

Last year, 501 volunteers collected more than 4,700 pounds of trash.
