Volunteers Needed For Charlestown Earth Day Projects

CHARLESTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Volunteers are needed to a cleanup event in Charlestown on April 6.

Volunteers are sought for Spring Roadside Clean-up & Other Earth Day Projects, which will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 6. The rain date is April 13.

The Township will provide trash bags, gloves, safety vests and bottled water for volunteers. Youth Groups are encouraged and welcome. Officials will assign safer off-road areas for these groups and for families with younger children.

The township can work with you or your group on planning a specific earth day project, as well.

The Township Office is used as headquarters. Personnel will be on hand at the office and on the road throughout the event to handle calls, questions, problems, and other issues.

Volunteers may have a particular road or other area you’d like to take care of, otherwise the township can suggest assignments and you can pick one that appeals to you.

Additionally, volunteers have the option of leaving the filled trash bags at the location for later pick up by the township, or if you have a truck or larger vehicle the bags can be dropped off at the Township yard opposite our office on Whitehorse Road.

Families and Adult Volunteers meet at the township office for continental breakfast fare, to get their assignments and to pick up supplies.

Youth groups are set up ahead of time through their leaders and a modest reimbursement is provided for refreshments at your assigned location. Homeowners association groups are also set up in advance.

The township provide supplies for any day of the year you or your group is available.

To Register or to get more information, contact Linda Csete, Township Manager at admin1@charlestown.pa.us or by phone at (610) 240-0326 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
