To the Editor:
On May 8, Malvern residents came together to clean up the village. Forty volunteers came out in the cold, wind and rain to pick up trash, gather tires and discard appliances, batteries and brush. Three huge dumpsters were filled to capacity. The Goodwill bins were full. Residents disposed of 10.66 tons of garbage, 500 tires, 170 batteries and 860 appliances!

Woods Grocery and West End Pizza donated food for the volunteers and the following companies made donations of time and equipment: Garner Auctioneers, Burwell Refuse, Goodwill, Republic and A&A. 

Thanks to all the citizens who came out and worked together to make Malvern a better place. Thanks also to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Recycling the Litter Prevention,  for awarding the grant that helped our residents accomplish so much.
