Sustainable Trumbull To Hold Annual Save The Sound Cleanup Event

TRUMBULL, CT — Sustainable Trumbull will hold a clean up event in town later this month with the organization's Save the Sound partners.

According to the town website, the event will be held Sept. 13 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the front entrance of Trumbull High School.

Gloves and bags will be provided, and participants are invited to come for all or some of the event.

The event is also a great opportunity for student community service hours, according to the town.

Registration is requested and can be completed here.

The Connecticut Cleanup is a state-wide effort hosted by Save the Sound as part of Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup.

This global event, which occurs on International Coastal Cleanup Day in mid-September, has motivated over 11.5 million people around the world to pick up over 210 million pounds of trash from nearly 390,000 miles of shoreline, according to the town website.

The town website also notes that large groups may be directed to alternate locations to clean up various sites around town.

"As always, you may choose to cleanup trash around Trumbull any day, time, and location of your choosing," the website reads. "We kindly ask that you log your cleanup efforts using the Clean Swell app so we can track what types and how much trash our residents are collecting to better formulate remediation efforts and programs."
