Clean Up Day

COMMUNITY CLEANUP DAY ON SATURDAY APRIL 26

Mayor Caggiano has announced that the City of Bristol will be celebrating Earth Day by inviting the community to join them for the fifth annual Community Clean Up Day on Saturday, April 26, 2025 any time between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm or any time that works for you to clean up your corner of Bristol.

“City pride is important to all of our success, and a neat and clean appearance is a key element to a vibrant community. Bristol is excited to once again host the annual Community Clean Up Day,” stated Mayor Caggiano. “We are grateful to the residents and community groups who come out each year to support this important event which helps keep our city beautiful.”

“The City is inviting groups and individuals to join them to help clean up several areas throughout the City. This event is ideal for civic organizations, Scout Troops, or school groups who are interested in volunteering or who may need community service credit,” stated Dr. Joshua T. Medeiros, Ed.D., CPRE, Superintendent of Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services.

Cleanup areas will include:
 - Riverside Avenue
 - Veterans Memorial Boulevard Park
 - The West End Neighborhood
 - Along the Railroad Tracks on North Main Street, Center Street, and Main Street
 - Forestville Village and Along the Pequabuck River
 - And Your Neighborhood!

Clean Up Day supplies will be available for pick up while supplies last on the day of the event from 9:00 to 10:30 am at the entrance to Rockwell Park where the lagoon is. The Bristol Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services will be hosting their annual Fishing Derby that day and participants are encouraged to also pick up supplies to participate in the Community Clean Up Day. Supplies will include garbage bags, gloves, Beautify Bristol litter kit, event day t-shirt, instructions, locations of trash pickup areas, and safety guidelines. You are encouraged to provide your own gloves.

“While one day is being set aside for this community-wide cleanup, we invite the residents of Bristol to continue cleanup efforts in your own neighborhoods throughout the year,” stated Lindsey Rivers, Bristol Public Works Analyst. “Beautify Bristol litter kits are available for pick up year-round at the Public Works office located on the second level of City Hall.” 

The community is encouraged to take photos and post them to social media using the #allheartcleanupday2025 hashtag. 

In addition, the New Cambridge Project will be hosting groups and organizations at the brewery along with The Paki Taco food truck beginning at noon. Residents are encouraged to visit the brewery to enjoy lunch and drinks after the Community Clean Up Day to celebrate Earth Day.
