Community Service: Delaware Water Gap Spring Clean Up with STAFF STAFF
Saturday October 15th
11:00am-12:00pm
Location: Delaware Water Gap Park and Ride
The Park & Ride in DWG is a big trouble spot. During the week it is packed with commuters and on the weekends the space is used by visitors and those accessing the park via the free shuttle service. It is a great offering to the community. One that encourages carpooling and mass transit, however, it also attracts litter. There used to be garbage cans here, but they were removed after continued abuse. People were dumping household waste and even large pieces of furniture.
We are working with PennDot to keep this area safe and beautiful for all that use it while also educating the masses about the environmental impacts of littering.
Please join us to get this area clean and tidy for the fall! If you have gloves, please bring them. I prefer either rubber gardening gloves or work gloves. Wear bright colored clothing, even though we'll be in a parking lot and not on the road. Buckets will be provided.
