Volunteers Needed To Help Clean Up Green Brook

GREEN BROOK, NJ — The Central Jersey Stream Team is hosting it's final cleanup for 2017 on Sunday, Dec. 3 in Green Brook.

The CJST will be partnering with the Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership to clean the Green Brook floodplain behind the Green Brook Regional Center.

The team will be picking up lots of litter, a few tires, and whatever other junk they find. The main goal is to clear the trash blockage seen in the picture and a few people may venture into the stream (in waders) to pull some tires.

The event begins at 10 a.m. and volunteers will meet at the Green Brook Regional Center at 275 Greenbrook Road, Green Brook.

Park in the lot on the right side of the building (if looking at it from the road). Look for the CJST truck and trailer. Light breakfast will be provided.

Registration/RSVP is important so that the CJST know what kind and how many supplies and refreshments to bring and set up.

Volunteer Instructions:

1. Bring along family and friends.
2. Wear sturdy footwear and clothing you don't mind getting dirty. Dress for the weather and in layers since you will get warm while cleaning.
3. Garbage bags, work gloves, tools, sunscreen, bug spray, light breakfast and water will be provided for volunteers.

For questions or planning on bringing a larger group contact Jens Riedel at jens.riedel@cjstreamteam.org or 908 240-1346.
