In conjunction with Earth Day (April 22) The Shelton Anti-Litter Committee will be conducting the fifth annual Shelton Clean Sweep campaign.
Events will be scheduled for the entire week of April 19 – 27.
Shelton Clean Sweep was inaugurated in 2008 by the Shelton Anti-Litter Committee to create awareness of litter problems and to initiate a grass roots effort to clean up our streets, public recreation areas and school grounds.
The campaign has been a huge success, with a growing number of participants each year, and more than 50 events registered in 2013.
Among the participants were Test America, Electric Cable, Friends of Shelton Libraries, Shelton Land Trust, Shelton High School Green T’s, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.
Civic groups, businesses, schools and individuals are encouraged to organize and schedule a cleanup day and register the event on our website. Trash bags will be provided by the city and pickup by the Highway & Bridges Department.
For more information and to register an event please visit our website at: www.DontTrashShelton.org.
The Shelton Anti-Litter Committee has launched the Shelton Adopt-A-Street program prior to Earth Day, with information being mailed to the local businesses and civic organizations. The program is a successful nationwide effort, enlisting commitments from the community to maintain specific streets, cleaning up the litter on a regular basis.
