Stafford Community-Wide Cleanup

The Stafford Community Wide Cleanup invites all citizens to join in a grassroots spring-cleaning movement on Saturday, April 20, 2024, from 8:00am - 2:00pm. Families, friend groups, neighbors, civic organizations, and businesses are invited to join forces by picking up litter from yards, parks, streets, open spaces, waterways, and other public areas. All registered participants will receive free cleanup supplies  and access to no-cost event day trash disposal. Volunteers are encouraged to choose a location that is important to them.

The goal is to help beautify our town, unify neighbors for a rewarding and productive day, and make Stafford a more enjoyable place to live and play!

HOW IT WORKS

• ORGANIZE - Work solo, meet up with friends or organize a group! Assemble your clean team and pick a location of your choice, then register online.
• REGISTER - You’ll be asked to submit some contact information, approximate number of participants in your cleanup crew, and selected cleanup site. Registration is used to track progress and distribute supplies. Please see the map below for locations that have been previously registered. REGISTER HERE
• CHECK-IN - Participant check-in is from 8:00am – 10:00am on April 22 in Hyde Park in Downtown Stafford. At this time, volunteers and groups will receive their cleanup kits and invited to enjoy coffee and donuts provided by the Stafford Lions Club. Participants also have the option to pick up supplies in advance at Town Hall on Thursday, April 18 from 4:00pm - 6:00pm.
• DROP OFF - Once you've collected litter and debris from your registered location, collection bags may be returned for free disposal between 8:00am  and 2:00pm on April 20. Participants are then invited to an appreciation picnic in the park, happening from 12:00pm - 2:00pm. Enjoy food, music, and activities!  

PICNIC IN THE PARK
Everyone that participates in cleaning efforts is also invited to attend a celebratory appreciation picnic in Hyde Park from 12:00pm - 2:00pm with food, music, and Earth Day-inspired activities. The Community-Wide Cleanup is hosted by the Town of Stafford Events & Celebrations Committee, in collaboration with local civic organizations and commissions.
