BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — Over a thousand volunteers in the community celebrated Earth Day on Saturday by helping pick up trash at various locations across Bakersfield as part of the 20th Annual Great American Cleanup.

People of all ages helped to beautify Bakersfield on Earth Day. One of those volunteers was Shawntel Allen with CASA Aurora who brought plenty of help for the cleanup.

“I’m out here with approximately thirty-one ladies, so we are a reentry program for women who have been incarcerated.”

Allen says the ladies like the fact that they are able to give back.

Organizers say they are already registering volunteers for next year's event.
