Shrewsbury Residents To Come Together For Townwide Clean-Up

SHREWSBURY, MA — Residents in Shrewsbury are being encouraged to roll up their sleeves and help keep the community looking its best during the town’s annual clean-up event this weekend.

The Townwide Clean-Up is set for Saturday, Apr. 18, with volunteers invited to gather family, friends, neighbors or local groups to pick up litter and beautify shared spaces across town. Organizers say the effort not only improves the town’s appearance but also helps build a stronger sense of community pride.

Volunteers are asked to sign up in advance to select a cleanup location at this Google Form. They’ll collect trash and debris and place it into designated town bags, and then town staff will collect the bags after the event ends at 12 p.m.

Supplies, including bags, work gloves and grabbers, will be available for pickup at Shrewsbury Town Hall, located at 100 Maple Ave., between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. on the day of the event, while supplies last.

Cleanup efforts will take place between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m., though groups can begin at a time that works best for them within that window. Organizers recommend working in groups of 12 people or fewer.

The event is supported by local partners, including Waste Innovations and the Shrewsbury Recreation Department.

Town officials say they’re looking forward to another strong turnout and are encouraging anyone interested to take part. Organizers said that even small efforts can make a meaningful difference in keeping Shrewsbury clean and welcoming.
