Great American Cleanup Kicks Off this Weekend in Rockland

NYACK, NY — Want to help spruce up your neighborhood and give a boost to the environment? Know someone who needs community service hours?

The countywide Cleanup Campaign starts this weekend and runs April through May. The first event will be in Stony Point on Saturday, followed by New City and Pearl River on Sunday.

In New City, the cleanup starts at 9 a.m. Sunday and goes till noon. Meeting place is outside the Stop & Shop, 180 North Main St.

In Pearl River, the cleanup is also 9AM-noon. Meet up to start at the Central Avenue Field Gazebo.

Join the thousands of Rockland County residents who will remove tons of litter from streets, parks and waterways and help make their communities cleaner, healthier and more beautiful. Head out on your own or get together with friends, or join forces with your school, company, religious or civic group. You can take part in one of the larger Community Cleanup Events scheduled in your area – it’s a great way to meet your neighbors.

Kids will want to search for Keep Rockland Beautiful's gnome mascot KiRBy, who will be hiding at every event.
