HARWICH – Organizers of the 5th Annual Tour de Trash in Harwich are looking for volunteers to help clean up the town this Saturday.
The event begins at the Harwich Community Center at 9:30am and finishes at 11:30am.
There will be a complimentary lunch at the Community Center.
Participants are asked to bring water and dress appropriately for the weather as well as for walking.
Separate bags for trash and recyclables will be provided, along with reflective vests, pickers, and disposable nitrile gloves.
The event is a joint effort between the Harwich Town Conservation Department and the Harwich Conservation Trust, with assistance and support from AmeriCorps Cape Cod, the Police, Fire, and Highway Departments.
Last year, Tour de Trash volunteers removed over 1,200 lbs. of trash and 500 lbs. of recycling from roadsides and other areas around town.
