Volunteers included students from Gregorio T. Camacho Elementary School, William S. Reyes Elementary School/MY WAVE Club, Saipan Southern High School, Northern Marianas College, Homeland Security & Emergency Management Office, Commonwealth Utilities Corp., and Coral Ocean Golf Resort.

During last year’s Islandwide Cleanup, over 3,300 lbs of trash were picked up from our roadsides and beaches and properly disposed.
