Hi Karen, I had not heard anything about the CleanUp Day. Are you posting the clean up day on social media sites (Facebook groups for Brookhaven, Ashford Park, etc) or local news (Like Brookhaven Patch)? We'd love to help out!

Thank you! This was in Brookhaven Patch and Reporter. Also Dunwoody Crier. Facebook is spotty but we're fixing that. Also on our website.

I tend not to hear about park clean up days until just before and already have commitments. Good to hear about expanding the social media plaform for Murph Candler park.

And by the most of the garbage floating in the lake comes after hard rains because storm drains from as far as the WalMart Shopping Center in the Perimeter Center and storm drains on 285 and the Georgetown Kroger feed into Murphey Candler Lake.

Think of how much makes its way to Nancy Creek and then to the Chattahoochee and then to the Gulf of Mexico.

This is why we need to stop using plasitics and styrofoam for our drinks and food or at least get companies to use biodegradable plastics made from plants instead of petroleum.

Thanks for posting this concern. The City of Brookhaven has logged and an update will be provided soon.
