COLUMBUS – In what seemed like an endless number of days filled with rain this spring, the sun finally came out just long enough this week so Golden Artist Earth Day volunteers could spend the day cleaning up local communities.

For a number of years, Golden Artist Colors’ employees have participated in Earth Day cleanup efforts. This year employees celebrated Earth Day by helping to clean up more than 30 roadways in the Town of Columbus. The company also had staff ensure it’s commercial properties were cleaned both in New Berlin and at facilities in Norwich.

Close to 80 volunteers participated and were able to remove dozens of bags of garbage and larger debris from the roads.

“It is absolutely wonderful that so many have extended their support to help us make a difference in this community that we live and work in,” said CEO, Mark Golden. Golden himself also took part in the effort, and donates the company’s time and resources to making it possible every year.
