5 Tips For A Neighborhood Cleanup Day

When you live in a friendly neighborhood that is child friendly you will generally know most of your neighbors. So why not plan a neighborhood cleanup day and take advantage of the crisp fall weather before the snow begins falling. Often there is a green area around a family neighborhood and if there is one you can contact the city and let them know you and your neighbors will be including the area in your clean up day. One way to celebrate this type of important get together is to order can koozies that you have imprinted with the date and the street name. This is a great and inexpensive way to say thanks for the help today.

Can koozies are available from many different online websites. If you need a simple inexpensive thank you favor that you can order online go for koozies. Or perhaps order them customized and they will fit the bill. You can order a few or a large quantity to hand out as remembrances of that special day. It is a way to remember special occasions and also get something that keeps the beer or soft drinks cool too

If you are going to hand out the can koozies after the clean up is finished then you should already have them on hand and ready to slip over the cans. Set them aside and get everyone organized. You should start with a list of tasks to be accomplished. You can either ask for volunteers for each task or if you know everyone pretty well, already have people assigned to various tasks. Then get them excited with short pep talk. If you have a high school coach they would be ideal for this task.

Next after the assignments are handed out you have to actually get everyone to the area they are assigned. It is good to have a few adults you can gently herb people in the right direction. Also make sure you have all the tools they need to perform the tasks.

Someone who is appointed the head herder should also have a clipboard with each task and participants names on it. As the day progress keep checking the task areas for completion. When a project is completed you can move the group onto another task or have them join another group. If you just let them drift they will probably just go back home.

One way to do this is to take those can koozies and hand them out to each participant. You could already have them fitted over the cans and give them out this way as a total surprise and a way to cool their thirst too after a hard days work. These are easy to use. You simply slide the koozie over the container and they are set to be used.
