Each year community members gather to collect the garbage that has accumulated throughout the township.
It’s a great day for the township and non-profits to take pride in the town by coming together to help beautify and clean it up on Oct. 5. As a bonus, organizations can earn money for their time.
Hopewell Township Clean Sweep is part of the New Jersey Clean Communities program, which was
started in 1986 with the passage of the Clean Community Act. It is grant-funded and promotes litter
cleanup throughout the state.
Protective gear is provided, and participants earn an hourly wage for their organizations. It’s a great way to get involved in the neighborhood and learn about litter abatement.
Hopewell Township Clean Sweep Day is held rain or shine, and people will meet at the Public Works
building at 9 a.m. Each group will receive protective gear, the tools needed, and an assigned area.
People are asked to bring water, snacks, and sunscreen. Optional for this year – people can choose your clean up area ahead of time.
