In preparation for the 12th annual Hooked On Fishing Derby April 25, community groups in Maple Valley will be sprucing up Lake Wilderness Park from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 11.

The Maple Valley City Council is encouraging homeowner associations and residents to join in and help beautify Maple Valley on April 11 by picking up litter in their neighborhoods and community parks. Recology CleanScapes, Maple Valley’s new solid waste service provider, will be out on April 11 picking up litter and they have provided litter bags for participating neighborhood litter pick up efforts.

Litter bags can be picked up at City Hall 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday beginning April 1 through April 10.
