Milan Cares - Spring Clean
Sat, Apr 18, 2026 at 11:00 AM
Our spring clean is Saturday April 18 from 11:00 Am to 1:00 PM. No sign up necessary. Come to 334 County St to meet up with all of our volunteers and you'll be assigned a team and an area, and we go do our thing. Lunch provided at 1:00 after the volunteers return hungry.
Is Milan Cares really necessary? We feel it is. The two pics attached are what can accumulate in 4-5 months in a very small area. A one-mile stretch of Sanford Road, between Plank and Milan-Oakville Road gets abused by a small number of people. A wonderful volunteer (Becky W) and I cleaned this road last October 2025. This is what we've picked up since then. There were the normal water bottles and fast food also, but the liquor bottles were the majority. This unfortunate reality happens all around the perimeter of the City of Milan.
The group, Milan Cares, is the only team out there who attempts to keep Milan as clean as possible. If we didn't, we would look as bad as the State of Ohio in the 1970s. You have to be over 50 to remember how bad Ohio used to look with trash everywhere. Ohio has improved tremendously since the 1970s. If we don't stay vigilant in our community, we WILL live in a trash filled town. Milan Cares wants Milan to be a leader in quality of life, and we work two times a year to make sure our residents live in a clean environment.
Please join our team to keep Milan clean and inviting. Two hours of community service does a lot for the quality of life in the 48160.
