The Whippany River Watershed Action Committee (WRWAC) coordinated a cleanup for congregation members of St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church at Veterans Park in Parsippany on April 28. The WRWAC supplied contractor bags, work gloves, hand held trash pickers and refreshments for all volunteers. Rev. Susan Sica helped organize the clean-up for her congregation located at 480 South Beverwyck Road.
Among the many items removed were shoes, tires, metal pipes and a stereo boom box, as well as a bevy of aluminum cans, glass bottles, plastic bottles and bags.
The Township of Parsippany supplied containers to properly recycle/separate glass, aluminum, plastic, trash and other items found.
