Westborough 2023 Earth Day Litter Pickup Seeks Volunteers

WESTBOROUGH, MA — The Westborough Community Land Trust's annual Earth Day cleanup is back for 2023, and is seeking volunteers this week for the town-wide event.

The WCLT is signing up volunteers for 59 sites across Westborough in need of a cleaning. Fourteen of those sites have been designated as "family friendly" because they are away from high-traffic areas.

The sign-up period will run through April 6, and WCLT will begin drop off bags to participants on April 7. Volunteers can perform litter pickups at any point between April 8 and 15, according to WCLT. Bags full of litter can be left near the pickup site for collection.

WCLT will celebrate the annual clean-up volunteers with an Earth Day picnic on April 15 at Bay State Commons.

"Volunteers will be treated to an appreciation picnic of pizza with all the sides! Picnic is courtesy of Arturo’s Ristorante, Roche Bros., DoubleTree Hilton Hotel and Stop & Shop," WCLT said.

In 2023, Earth Day will be observed on April 22.
