(DEQ) - The
Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Cleanup Brigade will be at it again picking
up trash at Obyan Beach this Saturday, June 1, 2013 at 8 am.
For more information

If you would
like to volunteer your time to clean and beautify our island, please meet the
DEQ representatives on Saturday at the Obyan Beach parking lot at 8 am. Volunteers will split into groups and clean until
10:00 am and break for drinks and then continue, if needed.
This month, outstanding brigade
volunteers who participated in at least ten (10) monthly cleanups will receive
a brigade cap and those who participated in at least three (3) cleanups will
receive a brigade t-shirt.
Last month’s Coral Ocean Point Beach
Cleanup was successful with 26 volunteers participating. Thanks to, students
from GTC and WSR Elementary, Hopwood Jr. High, Saipan Southern High, staff from
Coral Ocean Point, and other volunteers about 440 pounds of trash was removed
from the beach and properly disposed of.
The DEQ is looking forward to a repeat success this
Saturday, so join DEQ’s monthly cleanup brigade and “Pick It Up!” Let us work together for the health of our
coral reefs and cleanliness of our beaches for everyone to enjoy.
