Street Cleanup: When you ask the average person why street cleanup matters, the answers are often, "It makes for a nicer drive," "It makes the town look better," or "It keeps animals off the side of the road." While all of these are true, the biggest impact often goes unnoticed. Trash left along our streets is eventually carried into our streams and waterways, affecting our drinking water and the places where we fish, swim, and enjoy the outdoors. The City of Trinity currently organizes four community cleanups each year, and we are exploring opportunities to increase those efforts to help keep our community and environment cleaner.

Jacob Carroll Cleanup: The Jacob Carroll Cleanup honors the memory of Jacob Carroll, a Trinity resident who lost his life while serving on a mission in Afghanistan in 2010. Family members, friends, and community volunteers gather four times each year to clean a section of NC-62 between Finch Farm Road and Surrett Drive. The cleanup schedule is available on the City of Trinity's website calendar. Volunteers meet at Trinity City Hall at 8:30 a.m. The City of Trinity provides bags, gloves, and support for the event. For additional information or to participate, please contact the City of Trinity.
