Each year community members gather to beautify the area by collecting the garbage that has accumulated throughout Hopewell Township.
As a bonus, organizations can earn money for their time.
Hopewell Township Clean Sweep is part of the New Jersey Clean Communities program, which was started in 1986 with the passage of the Clean Community Act. It is grant-funded and promotes litter cleanup throughout the state.
Protective gear is provided, and participants earn an hourly wage for their organizations and learn about litter abatement.
Hopewell Township Clean Sweep Day is scheduled for April 13, rain or shine. Meet at the Public Works building at 9 a.m.
Groups will receive protective gear, the tools needed, and an assigned area. Participants are asked to bring water, snacks and sunscreen.
