Special Thanks to Charlotte Panny for organizing this event !!!
Volunteers will be meeting on Saturday 4/25 at 9:00 AM at the City Hall Civic Center, and then dispersing to various sites throughout the city. Pick up litter, collect recyclables, plant, remove graffiti, etc. Areas to be cleaned include city parks. The actual cleanup starts at 10:00 AM at locations throughout the city. Last year there was a group that did the riverfront walkway, from Johnson Park northwards, unsure if it will be hit again this year, but it's always a good idea.
The most popular cleanup event is usually the Borg's Woods cleanup, which Linda Flynn and her son, Rick Flynn, spearhead every year.
Sponsors for this years's event inlcude the City of Hackensack, NJ Clean Communities, NJ Transit, Hackensack Riverkeeper, Bergen County, Tree City USA, Upper Main Street ALliance, and Waste Management (a waste hauler).
Volunteers can also meet directly at the sites to be cleaned up at 10:00 AM, but the city prefers people to gather at 9:00 AM. Good chance there will be free food and drinks, courtesy of Java's Brewin and The Bagel Shoppe.
Any questions, call Charlotte Panny at 201-646-3907.
