KLAS-TV Channel 8 News Las VegasVolunteer Clean Up Scheduled in Southern Las Vegas Valley
LAS VEGAS -- Organizers say almost 200 volunteers are expected to take part in a clean-up event on public and private desert land in the Mountain's Edge area south of Las Vegas.
The federal Bureau of Land Management and the Public Lands Institute at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, are directing the Monday effort to remove trash and asphalt piles in an area bound by Blue Diamond, Fort Apache and South Cimarron roads and Cactus Avenue.
Officials say plans call for building dirt berms to discourage future desert dumping.
Water, trash bags, gloves and support services will be provided. Check-in begins at 8 a.m. at a volunteer support trailer at El Capitan and Maravilla Grove ways.
