WORCESTER – More than 1,000 volunteers at 100 sites across Worcester will take part in removing 50 tons of trash in the city at the 30th Annual Regional Environmental Council’s [REC] Earth Day Neighborhood and Garden Cleanups on April 27.

Since 1989, Worcester’s Earth Day Cleanups have become a coordinated activity throughout the city between Worcester residents and city businesses and organizations to help cleanup Worcester.

On Saturday, April 27, from 8 AM to 12 PM [noon], cleanups will take place at multiple locations throughout the city, with a cookout following the event, from 12 PM to 2 PM at Fuller Park behind the Downtown YMCA.
