BENTONVILLE -- The city will participate in Keep America Beautiful's Great American Cleanup by holding a citywide "Clean the Streets Day" on May 7.
The event will take place from 9 a.m. to noon, and volunteers are needed to help pick up litter along city streets, according to a news release.
City officials ask groups with children younger than 12 not sign up for the Walton Boulevard or 14th Street locations for safety reasons. Trash bags, safety vests and gloves will be provided.
