Super Heroes “Neon Leblanc’ and Conservation Agent Sophie Dorow Assist Volunteers in Gardner MA Earth Day Cleanup
Gardner Mayor Nicholson thanked all the volunteers from “Keep Gardner Beautiful”, Seaman Paper and the City who got 6 one-ton dump truck loads of trash off the streets. DPW staff took the trash to the transfer station.
The Huge Spring Keep Gardner Beautiful event will be held Saturday May 20, 2023 from 8:30 to noon. It will consist of a litter cleanup and nip hunt. People will meet up again at the Gardner Plaza where Staples is. And this year, Staples itself will join in with a recycling event.
Interviewed recently on WGAW’s Hotline Radio, Organizer Diane “Neon” Leblanc stated that this year they’ll be using Signup Genius for preregistration. She also told of the City’s new Hotline number to report illegal dumping at (978) 630-4023 and the City has already given out 3 fines for people littering in the City. Participants in Keep Gardner Beautiful will once again receive free matinee tickets to Gardner Cinemas. A sobering statistic: Since the nip hunt was started, Diane says 150,000 empty nips have been collected. Facebook page, click here.
