PRESCOTT – Wednesday was clean up day in Prescott, with teams spreading out across town to pick up trash.

This was part of the Prescott-Nevada County Chamber of Commerce’s annual clean up day. The teams were given grabbers, trash bags, gloves and reflective vests, with chilled water available. They met at Sterling Park to sign in and let Chamber Director Jamie Hillery know where they would be going first. A crew from Firestone took on Ron Harrod Drive, while a group from Farmer’s Bank tackled Olive St.

The city’s sanitation crews were tasked with collecting large items, such as furniture and appliances.

Regardless, it was a muggy  day for the teams involved as temperatures were expected to climb into the low 90s, with the humidity level not far behind.
