The first official day of Spring is April 20. If you're anything like me, spring cleaning has officially started. That is a subject for another day because we are starting to plan ahead for the Clean Williston Project.

The City of Williston’s annual spring Clean Williston event is scheduled for Saturday, April 29, 2023, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

In the event of inclement weather, Clean Williston will be held on Saturday, May 6, and this change will be announced on the City of Williston's social media and www.cityofwilliston.com.

This year’s spring event is once more changing locations, moving from Davidson Park to the Williston Public Works facility. The annual event invites the public to volunteer to help beautify the City by signing up for a zone within Williston to clean.

Williston Clean Zones

Each year, businesses, organizations, and groups of residents have generously donated their time to the Clean Williston effort. Clean Williston is held biannually in the spring and fall and continues a more than 20-year tradition.

“As Williston continues its journey in becoming the place to live in western North Dakota, it is important to maintain what we have become,” said Williston Mayor Howard Klug. “When we started Clean Williston, it was with the intent that we needed to do something so Williston wouldn’t be overwhelmed by trash. Now, each year the pride we have in our city comes out as we work to keep what we have built clean.”
