The “Keep Paterson Clean” Project was started by a resident of the Lower Eastside Neighborhood in the 5th Ward – Mike Wilson. You can read how it began by clicking here.

The concept of the project is to emulate what Mike has been doing around his block in the Lower Eastside Neighborhood and spread it throughout the other neighborhoods of the 5th Ward.

The Project is comprised of four (4) components:

1) Picking up Litter – randomly select problem areas and conducting clean up days.

2) Education – informing residents/business owners how litter affects their lives/business and what they can do to make their neighborhood a cleaner and safer place to live and conduct business.

3) Litter Marshall Program – modeled after Fair Lawn’s own “Litter Marshall Program”, the program allows individuals to seriously commit to make the 5th Ward and the City of Paterson a clean and litter free place to live.

4) Signage – reproducing Mike’s “Help Keep Paterson Clean” signs and place them in key locations throughout the 5th Ward.

Lastly, we would like to thank the sponsors of the Keep Paterson Clean Project because it is their support that has allow us to this work for the City of Paterson Center City Partners, Frantz Gaston, Jr. Insurance Agency, Rigo’s Dayton Speed and Sound, Express Service, Cibao Meats; additionally, we would like to thank the students from Saint Peter's College - specially DANR fellow Ismael Cid Martinez.

Your support is needed and truly appreciated!
