Many joined Keep Newton Beautiful for their annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service Cleanup on Monday, Jan. 19 at 9 a.m. 

Volunteers met at the Newton County Welcome Sign on Alcovy Road. Clean up started at the sign and included cutting back surrounding bushes and overgrowth.  

There was also a bonus cleanup opportunity: Fred Johnson’s Cemetery Cleanup. Cemetery cleanup volunteers primarily focused on the cemetery on Henderson Mill Road.

All volunteers picked up a free breakfast at the Keep Newton Beautiful pop-up tent.
