The Authority is proud to announce its 32nd Annual Waterways Cleanup event, inviting community members and groups to participate. The Authority is hosting this event as part of the Cumberland County Clean Communities Program on September 28. This event is being held in conjunction with the annual Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup (ICC), hosted in New Jersey by the New Jersey Clean Communities Council. Through the ICC, volunteers worldwide will remove litter and debris from lakes, streams, rivers, bays, and beaches.
Registration is required for all volunteers. Individual and group volunteers can visit theauthoritynj.com/event/the-authoritys-annual-waterways-cleanup-3/ for registration forms and more information. Registration forms are to be submitted no later than Friday, September 13. Participants are encouraged to choose their favorite waterway cleanup site to remove trash and unwanted debris. Free giveaways and supplies needed for safe trash collection will be provided as part of this community event.
“The Waterways Cleanup is a great opportunity for our community to get involved and help us improve our tomorrow,” said Albert Kelly, chairman.
“It is great to see our residents work together to keep Cumberland County beautiful,” said Cumberland County Recycling and Clean Communities Coordinator Samantha DeFrancisco. “We are grateful for our returning participants, and we look forward to welcoming new group and individual volunteers,”
