7th Annual Town of Caroline Roadside Clean-up: April 20, April 22-27, 2024

Roadside and Ditch Clean up Week

April 20, April 22 – 27, 2024

From Lucy Gagliardo and the Town of Caroline Watershed Committee 

Our goal: To keep the garbage out of the waterways. Garbage tossed along the roadsides ends up in the ditches, which carries it to creeks and streams, such as Six Mile Creek and West Owego Creek

Pick up supplies on April 20, clean up at your convenience until April 27

Please stop by any time from 9 am – noon on Saturday April 20 in front of the Old Fire Hall at the Brooktondale Community Center to get trash bags, nitrile gloves, borrow garbage grabbers and reflective vests and to learn more about the program. Clean up supplies will also be available from April 21- 27, at 53 White Church Rd, contact Lucy at LFG1@cornell.edu

The clean-up coincides with the Highway Department Junk/clean up week, April 22- 27.

Monday, April 22 is Earth Day, what a great way to acknowledge the importance of a healthy Earth by helping to clean it up!

Roadside litter you collect during this time can be brought to the highway barns during clean up week between April 22 – April 27, Mon – Thurs, 6:30 am – 4 pm, Friday, 7 am – 2 pm, Saturday 7 am – 12 noon. Please inform the Highway Dept crew that you are volunteers for the Town Watershed Committee and are disposing of roadside litter. If you find discarded large items (TV’s, furniture, etc) please call the highway barns at 607-539-7610 so they can assess it.

List of Town Roads can be found at the Town of Caroline website.
For this event you can also clean up County roads that run through the Town.
