This past weekend across New Boston students and residents pitched in to clean up the village with the year's first village-wide clean up day.
Large dumpsters were placed on the old Walmart parking lot in New Boston for village residents to drop off any trash or unwanted items. Hazardous or toxic materials were not accepted: this included refrigerators, batteries, televisions, gasoline containers or paint cans.
For those residents who were unable to bring their trash to the dumpsters, the village arranged to pick up whatever they could.
Volunteers from Walmart, Genesis, village council and village employees were walking through New Boston on Saturday picking up litter and trash in the streets and students from Glenwood High School's Honor Society and Student Council were also out picking up trash. Participating students also earned valuable community service points than can be applied toward their college scholarship applications.
Keeping New Boston clean is just another part of the great Tiger Pride our village exhibits every day. My thanks and congratulations to all who participated this year.
