Want to get involved in helping the town clean up before winter moves in?

The Tewksbury Beautification Committee announces Fall Clean Up Day, Saturday, Oct. 3 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Following a successful tradition of clean up events in which residents collected nearly 1,000 pounds of trash, the committee is excited to offer this clean up opportunity. Even one hour of help will make a difference.

Grab a friend, bring your scout troop, dance team, civic or sports group and pick a section of road.

Watch for the online sign- up in the coming weeks or email clean.up.tewksbury@gmail.com for more information.

Individual volunteers or team leads are asked to visit the Beautification Committee tent at the Tewksbury Country Club parking lot to receive bags, gloves, safety vests and cones for collecting trash during the event.

Each team will receive a contact card to call or text for their trash and supplies to be picked up when they are finished. Any amount of time is appreciated and clean up will continue throughout the five hour event. This is an ideal opportunity to earn Community Service hours, and there is a free raffle for donated prizes from local merchants.
