The Clean City Program will be providing gloves, bags and a thank you gift for volunteers. City staff will also pick up the bags of litter for the Earth Day cleanups in Newport. Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation is waiving all disposal fees associated with litter collected during Earth Day cleanups and Waste Management Newport will also assist in the pickup of the litter.
“We are fortunate that Newport has such dedicated volunteers,” said Mayor Harry F. Winthrop. “The City of Newport is appreciative of any assistance you can provide in keeping our city clean.”
Earth Day is Monday, April 22. A majority of the City of Newport’s Earth Day events will take place on Saturday, April 13 and, with such, invites all residents to participate in any of the scheduled cleanups when they might be available to do so. All April 13 cleanups have a rain date of April 20. Interested volunteers may contact the event coordinator directly or the Clean City Program at 845-5613. The Clean City Program is also available to provide assistance to those individuals who may want to start their own neighborhood cleanup as part of Earth Day activities. Become an active part of your community by volunteering at one of the following events:

Wear boots or sturdy shoes. Bring your own gloves. We will provide bags and Empire Tea & Coffee will provide complimentary coffee, hot chocolate and lite refreshments. Bring your own reusable cup (BYORC). This is a rain or shine event unless it is a total washout.
Clean Ocean Access believes that what is important about keeping our coastlines clean working towards improving ocean health is for people to spend time outside, together and connecting with nature and understanding the impact that we are having on the environment. We can learn from it and make better decisions in an easier manner when people connect with nature. Get involved
