An annual clean-up event, Plogging the Cov, returns for its third year on March 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. ‘Plogging’ is a portmanteau of the Swedish words for ‘picking up’ and ‘jogging,’ and generally refers to getting exercise while cleaning up the environment.
The event will be put on in partnership with Covington’s Solid Waste & Recycling Division and Keep Covington Beautiful.
“This year’s event will focus on cleaning the alleyways of Covington’s Central Business District,” according to an announcement from the City. “After the clean-up, volunteers will reconvene at West Sixth Brewery to enjoy food and beverages as a thank-you for their efforts.”
Volunteers can sign up using the City of Covington’s online contact form here. Registrations are due Friday, Feb. 27. All cleanup materials will be provided.
