Speedwell and Beyond Cleaned

Annual cleanup event brightens major community thoroughfare.

Have you looked at Speedwell this week? If you had you would have noticed that the annual Speedwell and Beyond Clean Up took place on Sept. 28.

The event was organized by the Morristown Clean Communities Program. The key focus of Clean Communities is education about litter control. The program goal is to eliminate litter from Morristown. 

Clean Communities provides educational programs for schools and civic organization as well as working with the business community.  Clean Communities works in cooperation with Public Works and Property Maintenance to seek public compliance to Town Code. Clean Communities runs for two major annual clean up events. Funded by Town of Morristown and an entitlement program from state DEP.

Missed the clean up day? Want to help? Families, individuals and community groups are needed to take care of a public spot throughout the year. Volunteers agree to keep an eye on and to perform litter pick-ups and sometimes, minor landscaping at an assigned location at least four times per year. Supplies and instructions are provided by the Clean Communities Program.

“Adopt-a-Spot” is a simple and fun way of participating in our community.
