Coinciding with Earth Day weekend, the Newtown Environmental Action Team (NEAT) is holding its next litter pickup on Saturday, April 20, from 9 to 11 am, at the Exit 9 commuter parking lot. The location is one of several litter “hot spots” it has identified following a town-wide survey.

NEAT encourages members of the public to join its monthly cleanups throughout town or to suggest sites for future cleanup. Gloves and bags will be provided.

For more information, contact Vanessa Villamil at 203-364-6452.

NEAT is a nonpartisan grassroots group of Newtown citizens who work together on smart solutions to environmental challenges. To learn more about NEAT, or to get involved, visit byonewtown.org.
