Sign Up to Tidy Up

The Wyckoff Township Committee has announced that the 2013 Team Up to Tidy Up Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 6 at 9:00 a.m.

 Team Up to Tidy Up has been taking place since 1987 and the Environmental Commission is hoping for a great turnout. All cleaning supplies will be provided. They only ask that participants bring their enthusiasm, community pride and desire to fight litter.

 “It’s a requirement of a grant that we receive,” said Town Administrator Bob Shannon. “Wyckoff receives a clean communities grant and we have been performing a town-wide team up day for clean up. The purpose of this is to raise our consciousness about the negative effects of litter.”

 Volunteers will be asked to meet at 8:30 a.m. in the second floor courtroom of at Town Hall where a team photo will be taken and final clean up assignments will be issued. Special “child-friendly” clean up sites will be available to Wyckoff’s youngsters.

 “A lot of folks participate in cleaning up these quasi-public areas where litter can result,” said Shannon. “It’s usually a very good day and the residents who volunteer are the ones who should be congratulated for their fantastic effort." 

Registration is available on the Wyckoff Township website. This year there will be about 20 locations that will be spruced up. If there is a specific area you would like to help out with or if you have any questions please call 201-891-7000.
