Town Wide Cleanup Results

Chelmsford's 2023 Town-Wide Clean-Up was a great success!  For the third year, the event stretched for a full week, allowing volunteers flexibility.  This year, 77 individuals and groups volunteered to collected 330 bags of litter!  The Department of Public Works provided yellow trash bags and gloves for safety.  Yellow trash bags could then be put out for curbside collection in addition to a resident's usual trash.  Individuals, businesses, and scout groups participated and shared photos.  The most common items were bottles, especially mini alcohol bottles, and cigarette butts.  Unusual items included, but certainly were not limited to:  car parts, tools, circuit boards, a satellite dish, and a wheelbarrow. Town Wide Cleanup beautifies Chelmsford and protects our soil and water from contamination.  Thank you to everyone who participated!

The Chelmsford Recycling Committee is submitting these results to Keep Massachusetts Beautiful, an organization that promotes such events and records progress.
