  • One LHF cleanup down… three community cleanups coming up

One LHF cleanup down… three community cleanups coming up

September 21, 2020| Environment, Community, Events

By: Donna Macalle-Holly

Seventeen volunteers gathered in front of the Nixon School on World Cleanup Day, September 19, for our annual cleanup along Mt. Arlington Boulevard. Each year, the Foundation organizes the gathering to pick up trash along the nearly 2-mile stretch in support of Roxbury’s Adopt-A-Spot Program.

The group, the largest that has ever gathered for the cleanup, filled 25 trash bags and a discarded storage container with litter for pickup by the Roxbury DPW.  Some unusual items found along the roadside were an old VCR tape and a decomposing pumpkin which turned white.  Since volunteers left the pumpkin seeds, who knows if we’ll come across a pumpkin patch during next year’s cleanup.  Supplies for the cleanup were provided by the Roxbury Township Clean Communities program. 

We'd like to thank all who came out on that crisp, clear morning. In under two hours, they made a big impact! 

 

  

 

If you missed the LHF cleanup, you can still volunteer at these other upcoming cleanups in Hopatcong, Jefferson, or Roxbury. I will be at Jefferson's cleanup on October 17, where I always pick up litter along Espanong Road! Let’s keep our lake communities litter-free!
