Over 500 volunteers gathered in Waukegan, Illinois, for the third annual Earth Week cleanup. The event, organized by Marty Wozniak, expanded citywide this year, with volunteers collecting trash from streets, beaches, and neighborhoods. Churches, schools, and community groups participated, including Christian Neighbors Church, Journey Church, and the Waukegan High School Environmental Club. Mayor Ann Taylor expressed her appreciation for the community’s involvement, and the cleanup will continue throughout the week with Dumpster placements in each ward and a free yard waste pickup.
