Keep Mansfield Beautiful Announces 1st Annual Mansfield Fall “Littah Sweep”

From Keep Mansfield Beautiful:

MANSFIELD, MA - To help keep Mansfield litter-free on a year-round basis, Keep Mansfield Beautiful is launching a new fall litter cleanup event.

The first annual Mansfield Fall “Littah Sweep” will be held over the weekend of November 5-6. Volunteers can register online at www.keepmansfieldbeautiful.com and then complete their assigned litter cleanup route any time over the weekend of November 5-6.

“Our spring cleanups over the past 9 years have been a great success,” said Neil Rhein, board member of Keep Mansfield Beautiful. “But we have noticed in recent years that after Halloween there is an increase in litter around town. With our new fall cleanup, we’re aiming to give the town a clean sweep before the weather turns too cold and snowy.”

The deadline for registering for this year’s Mansfield Fall “Littah Sweep” is November 3. Volunteers who received a tee shirt from last spring’s Great American Cleanup of Mansfield are encouraged to wear their tee shirts again. Otherwise, Keep Mansfield Beautiful will provide volunteers with trash bags and a limited number of trash picking tools.

Keep Mansfield Beautiful’s mission is to empower residents, businesses, and government to make Mansfield a greener, cleaner place to live, work, and play. Learn more at www.keepmansfieldbeautiful.com.
