Serve to remember. Work shoulder-to-shoulder with your neighbors on Saturday, September 11th (National Day of Service) to commemorate the 20 year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Choose from three different 9/11 Day of Service opportunities in the South Jordan area. Volunteers of all ages are welcome.
Day of Service Project 1: Jordan River Trail Clean-up
The heavy use of the Jordan River Parkway trail (along the Jordan River) results in the occasional need for trash to be picked up along the trail and surrounding area to help keep our trail and river staying nice. Teams will walk the trail, picking up trash and pulling weeds. Volunteers are expected to bring their own tools (gloves, grabbers, buckets, etc.). South Jordan City will provide trash bags. Volunteers are needed from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm. Sign-up here>
Day of Service Project 2: Bingham Creek Drainage Area Clean-up
The project will focus on the Bingham Creek Drainage area on the North-side of the Trans-Jordan Landfill and be held from 9:00 – 11:00 am.
Wind regularly blows paper and plastic trash out of the landfill, and it litters the area around the landfill; the worst area is on the north side of the landfill in the Bingham Creek drainage area. The drainage is generally dry but may have flowing water during heavy precipitation. The City would like to have the litter collected to improve the appearance and prevent it from washing downstream. Cleanup does not require any special skills or lifting ability. If you can clean up trash in your yard, you can do this work. Volunteers are expected to bring their own tools (gloves, grabbers, etc.). South Jordan City will provide trash bags. Sign-up here>
Day of Service Project 3: Storm Drain Clean-up
The storm drain grate cleanup will be held from 9:00 – 11:00 am.
Cleanup does not require any special skills or lifting ability. If you can clean up trash in your yard, you can do this work. However, volunteers are expected to bring their own tools (gloves, shovel, broom, etc.). South Jordan City will provide trash bags. See below for options to sign up. Additionally, volunteers will distribute information on the new “Adopt a Storm Drain” initiative that South Jordan City is rolling out. Sign-up here>
