MONTICELLO, NY (April 4, 2013) – The Sullivan County Legislature has announced that Sullivan County’s Annual Litter Pluck Day will take place on Saturday, April 27, and all school and community groups, as well as private citizens are urged to participate.

“Sullivan County’s Annual Litter Pluck is a popular event, and the Legislature appreciates that their constituents volunteer time to assist in the clean-up of the roadsides before the busy summer season” said Kathy LaBuda, Public Works Committee Chair. “And because not everyone is able to participate on the same day, the County Transfer Stations will accept debris from April 27 – May 5, to allow each community an opportunity to participate.”

The Sullivan County Division of Public Works and Solid Waste will donate trash bags for this community-based roadside cleanup event, and will accept the roadside refuse for disposal free-of-charge at the County Transfer Stations.

All residents and groups who wish to participate in Litter Pluck can pick up their Litter Pluck materials any time on or after Friday, April 19, 2013 at their Town or Village Hall or local Transfer Station. While no coupons are required, all Litter Pluck refuse must be placed in clear bags.

For more information about Litter Pluck, please call Sullivan County Parks, Recreation and Beautification Director Kristin Porter at 845-807-0261.
