Volunteers Needed to Fill Sandbags

Volunteers Needed
to Fill Sandbags
This Morning



Volunteers are needed this morning, May 14, to fill sandbags to help prepare for the expected heavy spring runoff. The event will be held at the Salt Lake County Public Works Administration Building.

Volunteers will use a process that includes a horizontal ladder with traffic cones acting as funnels. Sand is shoveled into the large end of the cone, funneling sand into empty bags.

“This process worked well last Saturday,” says SLCo Volunteer Coordinator Sheryl Ivey. “We need volunteers to reach our goal of 5,000 sand bags filled.”

Volunteers are encouraged to bring gloves and shovels; or 5-gallon buckets.

What: Filling sandbags
Goal: 5,000 sandbags.
When: Saturday, May 14th ~ 9 a.m. – 12:00 noon
Where: Salt Lake County Public Works Facility
            6960 South 604 West
