Town of Westport Fall Cleanup

Westport will have its first fall roadside litter cleanup on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday November 20-22!

Roam the roads of Westport on a fresh autumn day, pick up litter and drop your orange bags of trash on the trailer that will be waiting behind the Town Hall.

You can work on your own, and also join in the community effort on Saturday Nov 21: people are meeting in Ballard Park at 9am and 1pm, to receive instructions on areas that need attention.

For this year’s cleanup, there are plans to pick out the returnables to be taken to redemption centers that can provide funds to purchase litter grabbers that make it much easier to get those hard-to-reach bottles and cans.

The effort to separate returnables in last spring’s cleanup found that more than half of the trash was recyclable which provided about $45 that purchased two grabbers plus plastic bags that were smaller and easier to carry than the large orange bags.

For questions and to learn which areas need your attention (or to say where you are going) call or text Chris Maron at 518-637-8365, or email him at chrismaron7@gmail.com.

Thank you! Enjoy a day of camaraderie, fresh air and healthy activity!
