The Monmouth College football team is ready to get back in action with their Spring Cleanup Day. This year’s event will be held from 8 am to noon on Saturday, April 13.
This is the 15th time in the last 16 years the Fighting Scots football team will provide area residents assistance with household spring cleaning and yard work chores. The only exception was in the spring of 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the event.
The assistance is free of charge and available on a first come, first-served bases to residents within the Monmouth city limits.
The players and staff members will participate in the event, helping area residents. Residents will be required to supply any necessary equipment to complete the needed tasks such as cleaning supplies, trash bags or tools. Photos and video from the cleanup may appear on the Monmouth website and social media accounts.
Anyone looking for assistance from the players on Cleanup Day should contact coach Jack Healy at mhealy@monmouthcollege.edu or by calling 309-457-2163 The deadline to signup is Thursday, April 11. All requests should include the address of the cleanup location, a telephone contact number, the name of the person who will be at the location on April 13 and a description of the cleanup job.
The team will haul trash to the street but will not transport anything in a vehicle to a waste collection site or other drop off site. An appropriate number of players will be assigned by Coach Healy depending on the jobs requested which can range from yard work to window cleaning, to furniture moving or any other spring cleaning projects.
