Great East End Clean-Up to be held April 16 and April 17

The Great East End Clean-Up, an effort to remove litter and debris from public areas throughout Southampton Town, will take place on Saturday, April 16 and Sunday, April 17. Each spring hundreds of residents of all ages participate in the program to clean-up locations such as roadsides, trails, parks, and beaches. In 2010 volunteers collected 55 tons of litter and debris, including 49 tons of garbage (municipal solid waste), 2.25 tons of scrap metal, 98 tires, and 18 propane tanks during the two day event.

“Residents are anxious to return to parks and beaches and enjoy all the beautiful surroundings our area offers, said Councilman Chris Nuzzi, who spearheads the event each year. “Spring is a great time to get back outdoors and clear away the garbage and debris left behind after a long winter.”

For more information, or to register, please visit the Southampton Town website at www.southamptontownny.gov and follow the link for the Great East End Clean-Up on the homepage, or contact Rick Hodgson at (631) 283-5210. Individuals as well as groups are welcome to sign up. The deadline for registration is Wednesday, April 6.
