Volunteer Opportunity Details:

The event draws usually any where from 80-180 volunteers. That will collect litter and trash from road sides,wooded areas,marshlands, beaches or a cemetery. There are team captains that are familiar with the locations. After completing a registration form for each participant, volunteers will be matched up to drive or carpool to a cleanup up site,usually within a 3 mile radius. There they will use bags supplied by the coalition, to pick up litter and place bags in one location. Where it will be inventoried & picked up later by municipal workers. This is a great opportunity for family's to share an experience to help clean our mother earth. The event can be rewarding and educational for all age groups.
