Earth Day Cleanups

Earth Day Cleanups are a way to bring neighbors, schools or organizations together for a common cause and by sponsoring a cleanup; it provides an opportunity to make a big environmental impact in a short amount of time. In recognition of this special event the city will assist community groups and organizations plan their clean-up and remove the debris once the clean-up has been completed. To participate in an Earth Day Cleanup:

Sponsoring groups should choose a cleanup site such as a neighborhood park, playground, cemetery or something similar, to clean up between April 1 and the third Saturday in May.
Contact the Sanitation/Recycling Office @ 401-732-9589 to schedule the pick-up day and location of the debris the week following your cleanup. The location must an area which is easily accessible to the Highway trucks in order for them to pick up the filled bags of debris.
During the cleanup we ask you to place all recyclable items in good condition and trash into separate bags. Items normally considered recyclable that are completely crushed and dirty items should be thrown away.

Let's all work together to help Warwick become an even more beautiful place to live!
