Residents in Cordova are gearing up for a neighborhood cleanup. Shelby County Commissioner Shante Avant, Councilwoman Jerri Green, and MSCS Board Member Sable Otey are organizing the event, which is scheduled for tomorrow. The initiative aims to tackle growing concerns about litter in the community.

This initiative focuses on engaging residents in caring for their environment. According to the Shelby County website, the cleanup is part of broader efforts to enhance community pride and improve the area’s aesthetics and public health. Volunteers interested in participating are encouraged to reach out to the organizers, aiming to address the littering trend that has been a concern for community leaders.

While the cleanup may not completely resolve the litter issue, it provides a starting point for discussions about sustainability and environmental respect. The event is intended as a step toward a longer-term solution, where community action can contribute to lasting change.

Those who wish to participate should arrive prepared to engage with their neighbors and work toward a common goal. Volunteers are advised to wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes, with all necessary cleanup equipment provided on-site.
