🪴Our Slate Belt Clean-Up day was a huge success!

🗑On Saturday, 4 teams of trash warriors traversed the boroughs of Wind Gap, Pen Argyl, Bangor, and Portland. These teams collected and bagged more than 900 lbs of trash from roadways, curbs, and public properties.

💪🏽We had volunteers from our sponsors at ESSA, Fidelity Bank, and Waste Management.

We had appointed and elected officials from all four boroughs, Representative Flood’s office, Slate Belt Regional Police, and so many others join us as well.

Many local and not so local citizens were even happy to roll up their sleeves, don some reflective gear, and get to work.

We want to thank the friends who joined us along the way!

Dan McDermott, Denise Giogaia, Kelly Steinmetz, Kristen Corradi, Adrienne Fors, Louise Firestone, Rep Amy Flood, Lisa Amy, Carol Hilton, Jeff Fox, Stephanie Steele, Joe LeDonne, Janell Connolly, Glen Connolly, Ann Weaver, Stephanie Cooper, Sandee Kennedy, Pete Snik, Scott Geosits, Heather Fischer and family, Cindy Fish, Mike Ortoski, Krista Ashmore and family, Jim Augustine, Nate Dysard, Brooke Kerzner, and some friends who stopped to help along the way, John Cuono, and Sean Pratt, and of course our Director, Stephen Reider.

If you see them out and about, be sure to give them a socially distanced “air 5” for a job well done.

We couldn’t have done it without all of them!
