About 50 people collected about 20 tons of trash over the Apple Blossom weekend.

The City put up 1,800 cardboard trash boxes throughout the downtown area. Preparation for the clean up of Apple Blossom usually starts in January.

"We kinda have our own parade. We start out with the trash trucks and they empty out all of the boxes and then we come behind with blowers and blow every thing on to the street and then this machine behind me comes through and sucks it all up," said City of Winchester Public Works Division Manager Tom Denney.

Denney says they pick up the most trash around the grand stand area near Gerrard and Handley Boulevard. Crews were out Monday working on taking the stands down. But that's a job that usually takes a couple of days.
