Volunteer Groups Sought For Danvers Town Wide Clean Up

DANVERS, MA — Organizations and individual volunteers are being sought for the 5th annual Danvers Town Wide Clean Up set for Earth Day week.

This year's event is on April 25 from 9 a.m. to noon.

Schools, youth leagues, neighborhood associations, clubs, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, churches, temples, and other organizations are invited to take part as a group, while individual volunteers are welcome as well.

Last year, more than 275 volunteers combined to collect more than 2,000 pounds of trash.

The event is designed to beautify the town, promote proper disposal practices, and help combat the effects littering has on the environment.

Here's how to get involved:

Organize your group (or plan to go solo), then choose a town-owned area of special interest to you — Popes Landing, Sandy Beach, and John George Park to name a few.

Sign up on the town website here. DPW will provide supplies, including gloves and bags, as well as the final clean-up of bags.

Not available on April 25? If you or your group cannot work on April 25, you can still participate. Send an email to danverscleanup@danversma.gov expressing your interest in participating.

DPW staff will complete the cleanup April 27 by collecting all garbage bags and large debris at designated pickup locations.
