Plymouth Hometown Cleanup Day

Volunteer to help make Plymouth beautiful next Saturday during the annual Hometown Cleanup Day.

Volunteer groups will fan out across neighborhoods and parks to pick up garbage and clean up debris. The town of Plymouth and the Plymouth Network of Open Space Friends are sponsoring the semiannual cleanup once again. The Plymouth DPW will provide purple trash bags and their pickup following the cleanup. The rain date is Sunday, May 5.

Interested people can either join an established group or put one together. To find a group, check the list at networkofopenspacefriends.org or by contacting Patrick Farah at Town Hall at 508-747-1620, ext. 204, or email: pfarah@townhall.plymouth.ma.us.

To put together a group call or email Farah with the following information:

1. What area you would like to clean (he can suggest needy areas),
2. Your name, phone number and email address (especially if you want others to join in),
3. Meeting place and time on the day of the cleanup,
4. Number of purple bags you would like, if any,
5. Where you will leave the full purple bags for DPW pickup, unless arranging for your own trash disposal.

This will be the seventh Hometown Cleanup Day. The Network of Open Space Friends hopes it will be the biggest one yet. Girl Scout troops, garden clubs, neighborhood associations, local friends groups, school groups and businesses all lend a hand.
