The Pennsauken Environmental Commission and the Township’s Parks and Recreation Department will be holding a fall clean-up day on Saturday, Sept. 30. Held from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., volunteers will work along 38th St. and Chestnut Ave.
“Each year, volunteers from our community come out and help keep some of Pennsauken’s great outdoor spaces free of litter and debris,” explained Juan Vazquez, the Township’s parks and recreation coordinator. “This is a great project for community groups and young people who need service hours. We hope you’ll join us!”
Each person, family, or team will be provided with trash bags, a bucket, gloves (one size fits all), and trash pickers. It is suggested that volunteers wear boots, along with old clothes (long-sleeved shirts and pants), as individuals can get muddy and dirty. These clean ups may be canceled/postponed due to weather 24 hours prior to the event.
Registration for the fall clean-up is required at least five days prior to the event. To register, please email the following information to jvazquez@pennsauken.gov:
• Your full name
• The number of people coming with you, if any
• Your preferred clean up location
