Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis and the City Council are inviting community members and groups to take part in a citywide Earth Day clean-up on Saturday, April 20.
Mayor Davis said, “Earth Day 2024 will provide residents a great opportunity to come out, clean up, and beautify our city. It’s a day when we can work together building community spirit and a cleaner Bayonne. This year’s theme is ‘Clean where you live!’”
Officials are inviting individuals, community organizations, and other groups of volunteers to sign up to clean a specific area of the City from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Interested organizations and individuals are invited to register as a team. People can either form a team to participate, or the organizers can place individuals on a team near where they live.
The Department of Public Works is coordinating the clean-up. Participation forms are available on the homepage of the City of Bayonne website, which is www.bayonnenj.org. You can email your interest to CleanBayonne@BayNJ.org. For information, please call 201-858-6070.
Teams will be asked to take photos of the garbage bags collected, so that they can be displayed on Facebook. The group with the most garbage bags will win a pizza party with Mayor Davis.
After taking part in the citywide clean-up, all participating teams and individuals will be invited to a post-clean-up event. Volunteers will be informed of details about that event.
