Many bags of trash and debris were recovered.
The town’s Environmental Department held a number of events in April to mark Arbor Day and Earth Day as it continues to maintain the environment.
Two cleanup days brought together more than 70 participants. The first, at Mill Creek Point, was followed by one at Mill Creek Marsh Trail. Volunteers hauled away several bags of Styrofoam, plastic bags, beverage bottles, tires, car parts, and a large plastic trunk.
“We had an amazing turnout at both cleanup sessions,” Environmental Coordinator Jennifer Schneider said in the town’s May newsletter. “It was a great group of enthusiastic volunteers to work with! I hope people are more aware of what and where they are discarding litter, because what is left on land will end up polluting our waterways through stormwater runoff. Hopefully one day we will not have to organize cleanups, but until then, if a group is interested in volunteering to keep Secaucus beautiful and clean, please call us, and we’ll be more than happy to coordinate it.”
