Volunteers brighten Wassaic for Amenia’s Clean Up Day

WASSAIC — Celebrating Earth Day among friends and neighbors, local residents volunteered to help keep their community clean at Amenia’s Clean Up Day on Saturday, April 23.

This year’s Clean Up Day ran from 10 a.m. to noon and volunteers were given the choice to meet at either Fountain Square in Amenia or Borden Park in Wassaic.

Donning bright orange vests, volunteers worked together to pick up trash and litter along the roadways and local trails. By the early afternoon, the town of Amenia and hamlet of Wassaic shone a little more brightly as a result of the volunteers’ labors.
