JOIN A SPRING LITTER CLEANUP!
EVENTS ANNOUNCED ACROSS TOMPKINS, SENECA, AND CAYUGA COUNTIES!
Newfield Greenup Day 2024
Saturday, April 27, registration 9am-12pm, Newfield
Rain date: Saturday, May 11
The registration table will be set up in front of the Newfield Town Hall from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on April 27th. At the registration table each person/group will register what strip of road they are covering, get a handout for guidelines, get black bags for trash and white bags for recycling, and borrow grabbers and any other equipment as available from the Cayuga Watershed Network. All borrowed equipment is to be returned to a bin in front of the Newfield Town Hall by the end of the day on Saturday, April 27th. This is so that the Cayuga Watershed Network can retrieve the equipment and make it available for other future cleanup events. All bags of trash and recycling will be left at/near the nearest intersection to the strip of road that each individual/group is registered at. Then the registry of the roads that we cover will be given to the Newfield Highway Department and they will pick up all of the Newfield Greenup Day bags on the following Monday, April 29th and deliver all that is collected to the Tompkins County Waste & Recycling Center. It is very important to register what road area that you are covering so that the Newfield Highway Department knows where to pick up what we collect. Any questions can be directed to Newfield Greenup Day Organizer, Mitch Raymond, at mitchraymond614@gmail.com.
