Looking to have fun and meet new people? Join us and our neighboring kids of the Ironwood community as we venture out 1 Saturday a month and pick up trash along Chalan Lumasu road. 
Teens wanting to see and be the change are encouraged and invited to attend and join us as we pick up trash along Chalan Lumasu road. We have partnered with the Dededo mayor’s office for this event. If time permits’ we will try to touch up on the pipeline as well. Unfortunately, illegal dumping is still an issue especially on roads that are somewhat abandoned. Help us make a difference and keep Guam beautiful.

Permission and waiver forms are to be signed prior to joining. Bring your own water bottle, closed-toe shoes must be worn. If you need directions to the meeting place, ask Ms. Crystal Guevara.

We meet at 7:30am at the Ironwood Estates Community center and expect to be done by 12 noon back at the community center. 
Team work is a must especially when it comes to large bulky items, we must be able to communicate with one another to get the job done. 
Please follow directions of the project leader as to your assignment and safety concerns. 

In order to earn service learning hours, a reflection needs to be turned in to a teacher who can input the hours into Power School. You need to address: What did you do? What did you learn? How was this an example of public service? A half-page essay will be expected after trash pick up. Reflection topic will include environment topics.

Our objective for this is to keep Guam beautiful at all times. If trash and illegal dumping continues it may very well be the silent killer to all of Guam’s natural and beautiful wild life that we have. We must do what we can to be a change that we desperately need to see. We anticipate picking up all or as most of the trash permitted within the time frame we have.
