Waltham Cleanup Planned For Earth Day Weekend

WALTHAM, MA — In 2020, Waltham's annual Earth Day cleanup was canceled. The kick-off event won't happen in 2021 either, but organizers hope to tackle at least some of the city's litter this year.

In honor of Earth Day, which lands on April 22, the Waltham Land Trust and the City's Public Works Department are inviting residents to celebrate with a City Cleanup on April 24, which is a Saturday.

Organizers say the cleanup is a safe, distanced way to celebrate Earth Day.

Residents can recommend areas in need of some TLC, or join as an individual, small group, or family to help clean up areas around the city. Meet at 165 Lexington St, to get trash bags, face masks, and pick up assignments at the city's Public Works facility on Friday, April 23.

If you know of an area you would like to add to the areas in need of attention, reach out to Stew LaCrosse at slacrosse@city.waltham.ma.us from the city's Public Work's office.
