Keep Rehoboth Beautiful Litter Cleanup

Posted

Rehoboth- Littering is a problem that is all too familiar in Rehoboth. Bottles, cans, snack bags, and other items are commonly found scattered along our roadways. To help solve this problem, the Keep Rehoboth Beautiful Sub-Committee was formed to promote environmental stewardship and increase community pride as Rehoboth celebrates its 375th Anniversary in 2018. To do so, they are organizing a town-wide roadside cleanup as an event of 375th Anniversary Celebration.
The cleanup will be a week-long event running from April 22-28. Starting in the first week of April, there will be free trash bags provided at the following locations: Rehoboth Senior Center, Rehoboth Town Offices, Blanding Library, Chartley’s Country Store, Manny and Sons Auto Repair, Century 21 Real Estate, Rehoboth Highway Department, J.J. Materials.
Throughout the week of the event, the Rehoboth Highway Department will pick up the full trash bags left at the side of the road by participants. Participants are must sign up by filling out a registration form and waiver at the trash bag locations. There is also an online version of the registration form that can be found on the Keep Rehoboth Beautiful Facebook page.
The Keep Rehoboth Beautiful Sub-Committee is currently recruiting groups to participate in the event and clean up areas in town. They are asking that group leaders be "cleanup captains" and organize the group, which entails scheduling the date/time that the group will participate, distributing/collecting individual waivers, and distributing event t-shirts and trash bags. Residents are encouraged to contact Keep Rehoboth Beautiful with any questions or concerns at keeprehobothbeautiful@rehoboth375.com.
