Cleaner, Greener Quincy will be held on Saturday, May 7th. The annual city-wide cleanup has drawn over 1,500 volunteers to help clean our parks, beaches, marshlands, open spaces, trail networks, and other areas. The clean-up will take place from 9:00 am to noon in a variety of locations throughout the city.
Volunteer leaders who have a project and a team can participate in Cleaner, Greener Quincy by emailing Paul Doherty at [email protected]. The City will provide tools, bags, trash pick-up, and a Cleaner, Greener t-shirt to those that participate. If you are an individual looking to join a cleanup team, you can email Doherty to be connected to a group.
Following the cleanup, Mayor Tom Koch will sponsor a Volunteer Appreciation Barbecue at Pageant Field from 12:30 pm to 2 p.m.
In addition to cleanups, many of the city’s garden clubs have started beautification efforts along the Squantum Causeway, in Hough’s Neck, and throughout Wollaston. A number of other neighborhood and community organizations from Merrymount, Quincy Point, Montclair, Faxon Park, Adams Shore, North Quincy, and other areas also do cleanup and neighborhood beautification projects.
City crews will cleanup winter debris along our City beaches that morning. Equipment will be deployed along our shoreline in Squantum, Merrymount, Adams Shore, Hough Neck, Germantown, and Quincy Point.
