April 22, 2025 - Mathews Realty and a group of Shelby County Junior Chamber of Commerce 8th graders from Center Middle School gathered with trash bags, gloves, and grabbers to pickup trash to Celebrate Earth Day on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
The clean up event was organized by Mathews Realty and they extend their appreciation to the Chamber of Commerce and the Junior Chamber of Commerce students for helping to make a positive change to a city and county road. Also, thank you to the City of Center for donating the trash bags used in the clean up event. The group encourages anyone who would like to be a part of making our area beautiful to pick a road and make a difference.
Earth Day is an annual event held on April 22 and was first held nationwide in the United States in 1970 to demonstrate support for environmental protection of our planet.
The roadway was left much cleaner than it was before the group started!
