Town-Wide Cleanup Event In Bloomfield Will Return

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The Township of Bloomfield will come together for a “town-wide cleanup” event on Saturday, April 22.

According to a municipal news release, the event will take place from 8 a.m. to noon. It is being held in partnership with local schools, community groups and residents, and is sponsored by the Bloomfield Beautification Committee.

Residents are encouraged to spread the word about the town-wide cleanup and to get involved by volunteering their time. Anyone interested in participating can sign up at https://tinyurl.com/2023BloomfieldSpringCleanup.

Here’s what to expect, town officials said:

“Organized by the Bloomfield Beautification Committee and with support from the Bloomfield Department of Public Works (DPW) and Division of Public Safety, the town-wide cleanup day is a twice-yearly event that encourages residents to actively participate in the upkeep of their neighborhoods and think about the small ways they can make a difference year-round. Participants choose their own location and the Bloomfield DPW drops off and picks up supplies, including gloves, garbage pickers, bags, rakes, and shovels to be used for the event.”

“We’re thrilled to once again be organizing this incredible town-wide event, which is a great opportunity to bring people together and create a real sense of community spirit,” Mayor Michael Venezia said.

“In the past the turnout has been spectacular so we hope to see even more people come out this time to help us make Bloomfield an even more beautiful place for all,” Venezia added.

“Thank you to all of the volunteers, the Bloomfield Beautification Committee, as well as the members of the Bloomfield Department of Public Works (DPW) and Division of Public Safety, without whom this event would not be possible,” Councilwoman Jenny Mundell said.
