The Friends of Salt City Cemetery will be hosting the annual Post Memorial Day Clean up.

Each year, in observance of Memorial Day, visitors to the Salt Lake City Cemetery place potted plants, flowers, and other memorabilia around the graves of their loved ones. Once the flowers and plants have died, they need to be removed. This year, the Friends of the Salt Lake City Cemetery are once again asking for volunteers to help pick up and separate the recyclables from the trash and compostable waste. In previous years, they have diverted between 8 and 10 tons of recyclables and compostable waste from the landfill.

Meet in front of the Sexton’s house (corner of N Street and 4th Ave). Wear closed-toe shoes, bring gloves, sunscreen and a water bottle. Volunteers are needed June 4-7, 2025, click here to volunteer or visit friends-slc-cemetery.com for more information.
