Spring Cleaning in Woodbridge
Volunteers helped pick up litter; Residents can donate furniture on May 16
To celebrate Earth Day and do a little “spring cleaning” First Selectman Ellen Scalettar joined Woodbridge Trail Master Mike Walters, Board of Education member Karen Kravetz, her daughter Allie and board members of the Woodbridge Park Association to clean up the trails at Alice Newton Street Memorial Park. The weekend before, during the Town-sponsored “Rid Litter Day” residents (pictured are Kathy Barkin and Beth Weintraub) picked up litter in their neighborhood and filled trash bags provided by the Public Works Department.
“So much of what happens in Woodbridge can be attributed to our wonderful volunteers, and I’d like to thank everyone who participated in these community events for helping to keep Woodbridge beautiful,” said First Selectman Ellen Scalettar.
In keeping with the spring cleaning theme, the Woodbridge Transfer Station is hosting a “Furniture Donation Day” on Saturday May 16. The Furniture Co-Op will provide a truck and staff to collect furniture donations from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The Furniture CO-Op is a program of New Reach Inc., that provides assistance to families and individuals who are transitioning from homelessness, living with disabilities or other insufferable hardships.
