WEST FALMOUTH ROADSIDES GET A SPRING CLEAN UP

West Falmouth Clean-up Campaign 2011

The Falmouth Beautification Council's Spring Litter Clean-up is scheduled for Saturday April 16 through Saturday April 23.

Please participate in our collective effort to remove the bottles, cans, and litter from our sidewalks,roads, parks, and beach areas.

Just dress in sensible clothes, carry a trash bag and perhaps a small 3 pronged gardening hoe to retrieve litter from under bushes and vines. The town will collect litter trash bags with regular

garbage during the clean-up week.

Past volunteers will be contacted again for participation in this year's beautification project. Sue and Milt Williamson are the West Falmouth coordinators and are always looking for new helpers. Please give them a call at 508-540-5298 or email them at willmilt@comcast.net. if you can join the other clean-up volunteers.

Let's clear away winter's debris and beautify West Falmouth, the gem of a village on Buzzards Bay. Remember- beautification begins with each of us. Your participation would be most appreciated.

The two year project on the bridge began in March
2010 and continues! The construction has reduced traffic to one lane and is controlled by a sensor operated traffic light.

The fist half is done and the goal is to have this entire project completed by late fall 2011.
