Saturday

Kingston Greenways Association Earth Day Cleanup #1, 84 Laurel Ave, Kingston, 9 a.m.

The Rockingham Crew will meet at the gate to Rockingham on Laurel Avenue, and collect trash around Rockingham and along Laurel Avenue in Franklin Township. Participants can expect the usual bounty of bottles, cans, cups, plastic bags, snack wrappers, balloons, cigarette butts, CDs, and Styrofoam containers. Past years' cleanups have also yielded a bucket seat from a car, a filing cabinet, a Home News newspaper machine, a work tray containing hardened cement and tiles, and the torso of a life-size blow-up doll. Vie for the opportunity to snag this year's most unusual discarded object! Boots, hats, and long pants are recommended attire. KGA has a half dozen very good "trash grabbers" to help wrest litter caught in brambles-- first come have first crack at these trusty tools. We also provide garbage bags, safety vests, and gloves.
