Wilton Seeks Volunteers For Annual Townwide Cleanup Day On April 5

WILTON, CT — The Wilton Conservation Commission is seeking volunteers for its annual Townwide Cleanup Day, scheduled for Saturday, April 5, 2025, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Town Green.

Now in its 27th year, the event brings together residents of all ages to collect litter along Wilton’s roadways and the banks of the Norwalk River. First Selectman Toni Boucher encouraged community participation, highlighting the event’s role in fostering environmental stewardship.

“This town beautification effort promotes a cleaner environment and is a great way to meet neighbors,” Boucher said. “Your involvement sends a positive message that our environment is a priority in building a healthier community.”

The Conservation Commission will provide work gloves, garbage bags, and dumpsters, which will be available at the gazebo starting at 9 a.m. Volunteers who collect a full bag of litter and dispose of it at the Town Green will be entered into a raffle for prizes donated by local sponsors. The drawing will take place at noon, and participants must be present to win.

Pinocchio Pizza will offer a free slice of cheese pizza to each volunteer.

The event will take place rain or shine.
