Whippany River 10th Annual Cleanup

The Whippany River Watershed Action Committee (WRWAC) has scheduled a clean-up of the Whippany River on Saturday, March 21, 2020 from 8:30 AM to Noon. Anyone interested in volunteering their time and efforts should come to the Bethel AME Church located on Spring Street in Morristown.
The Whippany River, which flows thru Morristown, has been impacted from the flooding that occurred from hurricanes and storms over the years. Last year, 90 trash bags weighing 4,000 lbs. of garbage and debris were removed from this part of the river.
“This is the tenth year in a row we have cleaned up this part of the river with the help of countless volunteers.” says Bethel AME Church Reverend Sidney Williams, Jr. “The section of the river that runs adjacent to our property is always littered with trash and debris which are not only an eyesore but an impediment.”
The clean-up is open to anyone who wants to participate. Garbage bags, gloves, and safety vests will be provided by the WRWAC. The Town of Morristown has volunteered to pick-up and dispose of all garbage and debris collected.
