The following is a press release from the Town of Wilton.
The Wilton Conservation Commission is looking for volunteers to join the 2025 Townwide Cleanup Day on Saturday, Apr. 5 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Town Green. Every year hard working volunteers of all ages join together to pick up litter along Wilton’s roadways and the banks of the Norwalk River.
“I encourage our Wilton families, friends and neighbors to join the Conservation Commission in its 27th annual Townwide Clean Up Day,” First Selectman Toni Boucher said in a press release. “This town beautification activity, that promotes a cleaner environment, is a great way to meet your neighbors. Your involvement will send a positive message and model responsible environmental stewardship for youths; it says that our environment is a priority in helping to create a healthier community. I hope to meet you personally on April 5!”
Work gloves, garbage bags and dumpsters will be provided by the Wilton Conservation Commission and will be made available at the gazebo starting at 9 a.m. This year’s event has several generous donors who will be providing raffle prizes for some lucky participants.
To be eligible to enter the raffle, volunteers must collect a full garbage bag of litter and bring it to the Town Green for disposal. The raffle will be drawn promptly at noon on April 5, and entrants must be present to win. Pinocchio Pizza will be providing each volunteer with a coupon for one free slice of cheese pizza for their help.
This is a rain or shine event.
