Stafford Community-Wide Cleanup
Stafford Community-Wide Cleanup
Saturday, April 22, 2023
8:00am - 2:00pm
The Stafford Community-Wide Cleanup invites all citizens to join in a grassroots spring-cleaning movement on Saturday, April 22, 2023. Families, friend groups, neighbors, civic organizations, and businesses are invited to join forces by picking up litter from yards, parks, streets, open spaces, waterways, and other public areas. All registered participants will receive free cleanup kits – designated collection bags, gloves, and safety vests – and access to no-cost event day trash disposal. Volunteers are encouraged to choose a location that is important to them. The goal is to help beautify our town, unify neighbors for a rewarding and productive day, and make Stafford a more enjoyable place to live and play!
Participant check-in is from 8:00am – 10:00am on April 22 in Hyde Park in Downtown Stafford. At this time, volunteers and groups will receive their cleanup kits and invited to enjoy coffee and donuts provided by the Stafford Lions Club. Participants also have the option to pick up supplies in advance at Town Hall on Wednesday, April 19 from 2:30 - 4:30pm or Thursday, April 20 from 4:00pm - 6:00pm.
Once the litter and debris is collected, trash bags may be returned to Hyde Park for free disposal from 8:00am - 2:00pm. After the work is done, you're invited for a Volunteer Appreciation Picnic in the Park from 12:00pm - 2:00pm with food, music, and hands-on Earth Day activities. More details to come.
