The Town of Cohasset's Open Space & Recreation Committee (COSRC) is sponsoring the 4th Annual Town-Wide Clean Up to celebrate Earth Day 2022 on Saturday, April 23 from 9:00am to 2:30pm.

The Clean Up builds upon the national effort to remove millions of pounds of non-biodegradable, single-use trash and debris that bog our parks, shorelines, and neighborhoods. At last year’s event, 250 trash bags filled a 22-foot-long dumpster with tires, beer cans, water bottles, cigarette butts and even a staircase. The dumpster is parked at the town hall parking lot all weekend. The Clean-Up kicks off at the Cohasset Town Hall, where participants of all ages are assigned different plots of land to work or they can choose their own stretch of land. 

Tips for Clean Up Day:

1.     Choose a safe location to clean, such as your neighborhood, favorite trail, or boating area. Clean-up during daylight hours in suitable weather conditions.

2.     Use the trash bag provided, wear gloves and protective clothing.

3.     Include the kids and make it fun. Create a scavenger hunt to find different types of trash like a coffee cup or a competition to see who can collect 10-cans the fastest.
