Burrillville’s DIY Earth Day cleanup

Sign ups are now underway for a town-wide clean up to be held this month in honor of Earth Day, and in 2022, it’s just one of two events that aim to keep Burrillville beautiful.

The call for volunteers begins this week, with litter pickup to run through Sunday, April 30 in Burrillville’s do-it-yourself Earth Day event.

Saturday, April 23 is the official date of Burrillville Earth Day, and Hall has already begun arranging pickup of supplies with groups of volunteers, including bags, gloves, t-shirts and more. Once contacted, the trash and recycling coordinator assigns an area in town for trash pickup, and when volunteers complete their area, they will call to say where they’ve left the full bags.
