Adams Earth Day Clean-Up Saturday

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — Earth Day has come and gone but community members are continuing to make strides to clean up their neighborhoods in recognition of it.
 
The Northern Berkshire Events Committee has partnered with the Adams Beautification Group to host the fourth annual community cleanup day, during which residents will clean up 10 locations throughout town.
 
The event will take place this Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, with participants meeting at the Adams Visitor Center. A rain date is scheduled for Saturday, May 2. Refresh from a day of cleaning with pizza provided by Dough Boys Pizza. 
 
Locations slated for cleanup are Sail Park by AJ's Restaurant, Veterans Park on Columbia Street, the train station, Hoosac Street Gardens, the Adams Hometown Market parking lot, Fisk Road and Fisk Street, and Edmunds Street, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail beginning at the Visitor Center to Grove Street, and Siara Street Park. 
 
"We are encouraging many volunteers to bring any tools that they may have, such as gloves, rakes, shovels, brooms, dust pans, hand snips, shears — anything that they can bring to help make the cleanup even more effective," said Jessica Girard, events committee chair. 
 
"The beautification group will have safety vests for those working closer to traffic."
 
The event will include a friendly competition with prizes and Second Chance Composting will also be on-site to promote sustainable waste practices. The town's Department of Public Works is supplying bags and a truck to help the day run smoothly.
