Hundreds gathered on the sides of roads in town to help clean up Bakersfield during the annual Great American Cleanup community service event. Volunteers wore their orange shirts and braved the wet weather together to pick up litter in different locations in town.

After the cleanup, volunteers met up at Yokuts Park to enjoy lunch and festivities. There, awards were given to volunteers and the winners of The Green Art Expo, which included pieces made solely from recycled materials.
