HONOLULU – The Department of Facility Maintenance (DFM) Storm Water Quality (SWQ) Branch is celebrating Earth Month with a series of Adopt-A-Block and Adopt-A-Stream cleanup events this April. Volunteers ages 12 and up can make a difference by participating in cleanups to keep Hawai‘i trash-free while serving as a clean water hero.

“Earth Month is a special time for O‘ahu’s communities to participate in the city’s Adopt-A-Block and Adopt-A-Stream programs so that litter is put in its place, and our beaches, waterways and surrounding neighborhoods remain clean and healthy,” said Mayor Kirk Caldwell. “This is a great time of year to involve the entire family in clean-up events that make O‘ahu a more resilient place to live.”

Clean-up events for the month of April kickoff on Saturday, April 6 at 8 a.m. in Waipahu and Pearl City with the 14th Annual Pearl Harbor Bike Path Cleanup and culminates with the 12th Annual Mauka to Makai Environmental Expo on Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Waikīkī Aquarium.
