Initiative kicks off to clean up Pittsburgh ahead of NFL Draft
(CBS News Pittsburgh/KDKA) Pittsburgh will host the NFL Draft in about seven months, and the city is gearing up for the big occasion.
The city is now spearheading an initiative, the “Immaculate Collection,” aimed at cleaning up the area.
“Between now and next April, the immaculate collection will mean cleaner highways, stronger neighborhoods and a legacy that lasts well beyond the draft, and you’re all invited to join in,” said Caily Grube, executive director of Allegheny CleanWays.
The major clean-up effort being spearheaded by the non-profit organization Allegheny CleanWays officially kicked off with a ceremonial trash toss on Wednesday.
“Let’s show the world what this city looks like. Let’s make sure that it’s clean and ready. Let’s show the beauty of diversity in this city,” Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey said.
