Burrillville Town recently issued the following announcement.
Burrillville Residents Join us this April and help us Keep Burrillville Beautiful The Annual Burrillville Lions Earth Day Cleanup is going to be a DIY event this year!
Participants will schedule an appointment with the Recycling Coordinator to pick up gloves, bags, T-shirts and to sign up for a specific location to collect litter. Participants have until April 30th to complete their cleanup.
Once their cleanup is complete, they will again contact the Recycling Coordinator to indicate where the bags were left, and Public Works will collect it.
Community service certificates will be provided if needed. Free raffle ticket to all participants! Raffles will be drawn May 2nd and winners will be notified via phone or email.

RM SAVE THE DATE! August 27th! 0A second chance to help Keep Burrillville Beautiful! Join ZAP50! The Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments along with Keep Blackstone Valley Beautiful are participating in the 50th Anniversary of ZAP the Blackstone.
The goal of ZAP50 is to celebrate again and replicate the participation the original ZAP event had in 1972, when 10,000 volunteers came out on one day to clean up the Blackstone Valley.
The main event will take place on August 27th, however Burrillville participants will have the opportunity to participate by cleaning our roadways and riverbanks for the 2 weeks leading up to the main event. Burrillville’s participation will be run like our Earth Day Cleanup…a DIY event where supplies are provided and trash is collected by contacting the Recycling Coordinator.
Reach out to Andrea Hall for more information or to sign up. For history or more info on ZAP the Blackstone, volunteers can reach out to Donna Kaehler at Blackstone Valley Tourism Council 401-724-2200 or keep@tourblackstone.com.
