Annual Spring Clean Up Planned For Chatham Borough

CHATHAM, NJ — Now that spring has arrived, you might have spring cleaning on your to-do list and in your thoughts.

In Chatham Borough, spring cleaning will take on a community role, as the 11th annual Chatham Spring Clean Up will take place on Saturday, April 29 from 8 a.m. through 1 p.m.

The borough is currently looking for volunteers to help with the community event, which aims to keep Chatham looking beautiful.

Volunteers can sign up as groups, families, or individuals.

On the day of the clean-up, volunteers will focus on borough-owned property, such as the front of Borough Hall, RR Plaza South, Liberty Park at the Layfette Avenue/Main Street intersection, and the Middle School Walking Path off Main Street.

Signing up a week in advance allows organizers to send you an email with the exact location of your work site.

"Come prepared to weed, mulch, pick up trash, and spread mulch at these sites. Please dress for weather and soggy Spring ground," officials said.

For walk-ups and late arrivals, there will be an information station on the front lawn of Borough Hall during the Spring Clean-up event. The projects will be reassessed for completion of all site locations on April 29 at 12 p.m., and pizza will be served to volunteer workers on the lawn of Borough Hall.
