Rockdale ambassadors set “Trash Bash”

Rockdale Community Ambassadors, a volunteer board created by Chairman Oz Nesbitt, Sr., is hosting an initiative entitled “The Trash Bash.” The Trash Bash will include four community clean-up events in different parts of the county throughout  2018. The dates and locations for each event are as follows:

April 7  – Zone 1 -Irwin Bridge Area

June 9  – Zone 2 – Windridge and Queenie Woods Neighborhoods

Aug. 11  – Zone 3 – Johnson Park Area

Oct. 6 – Zone 4 – Ogelsby Bridge Area

Three ambassadors will serve as the lead contact for their zones:

Jerry Sheppard – Zone 2 – jerry.sheppard@rockdalecountyga.gov

Jessica Ivey – Zone 4 – jessica.ivey@rockdalecountyga.gov

The ambassadors will act as liaisons for their zones and will be a point of contact for the residents in those areas after the clean-ups are done. They will notify code enforcement about any complaints or concerns they hear.

Each clean-up event will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and food will be provided by Papa John’s pizza.

The first cleanup will take place in Zone 1, in the Irwin Bridge Area on Saturday, April 7, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Participants will meet  at the Board of Commissioner’s Office, 962 Milstead Ave., Conyers.
