Volunteers Needed for New Brunswick Street Clean-Ups

New Brunswick, NJ - Do you want to help clean up New Brunswick's streets?

The City of New Brunswick seeks the help of residents to keep its streets clean and green. An orientation meeting for the Clean City Block Captains program will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 22 at the HUB Teen Center, located at 411 Joyce Kilmer Avenue. Registration begins at 6:45 p.m.

All are welcome to attend and learn about litter clean up initiatives in the city of New Brunswick.

Block Captains are responsible for conducting mini clean-ups on their block throughout the year. They are also tasked with educating their neighbors about the significance of keeping their neighborhood clean. This grass roots effort keeps litter off the streets and builds community bonds block by block. All residents are encouraged to become Clean City Block Captains.

The City provides Block Captains with bags, gloves and educational materials in both English and Spanish along with technical support from the City of New Brunswick to aid in the clean-up process.

The Clean City Block Captain program meets twice a year and active Block Captains receive awards and are acknowledged for their participation and dedication to the New Brunswick community.
