Spring Cleaning Underway in Warren Township

Just as many residents are doing their spring cleaning at home, the township is set to tackle a cleanup on the Glenhurst Trails area on April 1.

Ahead of the township event, members of the Warren Blue Ridge Sportsmen conducted their own annual clean-up of the township-owned Dead River property Sunday. Club President Joe Nappe said the members collected trash, litter and discarded items on both sides of Dead River Road from Route 78 to the Dead River and the access road.

Club members used some heavy-equipment to collect all the trash, using front-end loaders to pickup and carry dozens of discarded tires, as well as large items. The trash collected by the club members was picked up and disposed of by the Public Works Department.

The township's annual Cleanup Day will be held April 1, with volunteers needed to help at Glenhurst Trails (located east of Wagner Farm on Mountain Avenue. The cleanup will begin at 8:30 a.m. and ends about noon. Volunteers should contact the Recreation Commission at 908-753-8000, ext. 721, or by email to recreation@warrenTBOE.org by March 30. All ages are welcome to participate, and volunteers should wear pants and long-sleeved shirts.

In October's Beautification Day, volunteers focused on the Hofheimer Woods and trails, in addition to cleaning other areas of the township.
