Burlington County Cleanup Day Set For April 27

Burlington County is seeking volunteers to participate in the next Clean Communities Spring cleanup event on Saturday, April 27, 9 a.m. to noon at Willingboro Lakes Park.

“Keeping Burlington County litter-free is an ongoing effort,” Burlington County Freeholder Director Tom Pullion, liaison to the Recycling Department, said. “Earlier this year, the community came together and successfully removed nearly 1,800 lbs. of litter from Pennington Park and along the banks of the Rancocas Creek. The county appreciates all the hard work our residents put in to improve our County Parks and our environment.”

Individuals, groups, and organizations are invited to participate in this event. Bags, gloves, and grabbers will be provided along with light refreshments and a water jug to refill participants’ reusable water bottle.

Volunteers younger than the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Volunteers under the age of 18 who would like to participate independently must have a parent or guardian sign a waiver. Waivers are available online or at the cleanup event.

Anyone who needs community service hours should register by 4 p.m. on Friday, April 26. To register, email cleancomm@co.burlington.nj.us or call 609-499-1001, ext. 266. Willingboro Lakes Park is located at 4150 North Route 130, Willingboro, NJ 08046.
