The cleanups are planned to continue the second Saturday of each month through February. Due to smoke and hot temperatures, the August cleanup was extended for a week — participants are encouraged to stop by the dealership to pick up a yellow trash bag, fill it with litter from their community, and return it to the dealership by Saturday, Aug. 21, for disposal.
