On Wednesday, Guthrie Center held its annual citywide cleanup day for citizens who had paid and registered beforehand. As usual, the ACGC baseball team provided most of the manpower to load curbside items into trucks. Scrap metal items were turned in to help raise money.
City Administrator Kris Arrasmith said 86 households registered for the event. This year, registration fees, along with money received from scrap metal turned in, goes to support Guthrie Center’s youth baseball and youth softball programs. Citizens are free to “pick” from items curbside but are asked to leave scrap metal items for the baseball team to collect.
Arrasmith said the event usually nets around $2,500 to $3,000.
