The community is invited to join Earth Day cleanup efforts with Carson City's Recreation Department and Chamber of Commerce.

Volunteers are needed from 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday at three staging areas around town, said Tillery Williams, the city's volunteer coordinator.

Volunteers can meet at any one of the following three staging areas:

• Fremont Elementary School parking lot along Saliman Road, to clean trash out of the Linear Ditch and along the trail.

• Retail Drive cul-de-sac north of Del Taco located at 822 College Parkway.

• Moffatt Open Space property's lower parking lot along Hells Bells Road.

Those who plan to attend should call 887-2262, ext. 7675, or e-mail twilliams@carson.org as soon as possible.

Donations can be delivered in person or mailed to Carson City Parks and Recreation Department, 3303 Butti Way, Bldg. 9, Carson City, NV 89701.
