CT State Rep. Organizes Simsbury Cleanup Date

From The Office of State Rep. John K. Hampton: State Representative John K. Hampton (D-Simsbury) is very pleased at the number of volunteers that helped out on a Simsbury cleanup event he organized for Earth Day.

Volunteers included the Simsbury United Methodist Church, other church groups, members of the local Daisy and Boy Scout Troops, and new residents who participated for the first time. The yearly collection started as Linda’s Litter Lugging Day by former State Representative Linda Schofield.

“I thank all the dedicated volunteers who made this Earth Day cleanup successful. This type of volunteerism and community pride is what makes Simsbury special. I was proud to be able to carry on the tradition started by former Representative Linda Schofield,” Rep. Hampton said. “I also give big thank you to Fitzgerald’s Foods for the donation of gloves and garbage bags, as well as Paine’s Inc. Recycling and Disposal Services for the donation of dumpsters and recycle bins. Without them this collection wouldn’t be possible”

Over 150 volunteers participated despite the rain and were able to fill two large dumpsters and several recycle bins.

John Hampton represents Simsbury’s 16th Assembly District. He is Assistant Majority Leader, Ranking Member of the Internship Committee, and serves on the Aging and Commerce Committees.
