NORTH PROVIDENCE – Residents are invited to participate in a town-wide litter cleanup this Saturday, April 24, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The first North Providence Earth Day Community Cleanup will hopefully be the first of many cleanups by residents who want to promote civic pride, said organizer Stefano Famiglietti, a member of the North Providence Town Council.
“In speaking with some residents, we came up with the idea to dedicate a day for a cleanup of North Providence,” he said.
What will start as an informal event this year encouraging residents to go out on their streets and in their neighborhoods to safely clean up streets should become more organized in subsequent years, said Famiglietti.
