Site Name
Green River Rec Area: Trash Sorting Center
Meeting Location
Meet at the Greenfield Swim and Rec Area on Nash’s Mill Road.
Event Description
We are the receiving area of the trash that volunteers bring in from their Cleanup sites. Our mission is to sort the material by category so that we can dispose of rubbish and recycle and redeem as much as possible. We also wash bottles, cans, recyclables/redeemables, especially if they are filled with sand. We endeavor to return intact and still usable items to their owner, if possible, or to find a new home for their use.
Morning: Set up bottle washing station, tables, etc.
Midday: Peak of trash sorting
Late afternoon: Clean up the area so it’s better than when we got there. This also promotes an ease of handling by the Greenfield DPW when they remove the material the following Monday.
We make it a point to contact stores if we recover any of their grocery carts for their return.
Parents must be on hand to supervise children. Thank you!
