Tiverton Spring Cleanup

The Tiverton Litter Committee will hold its annual Spring Cleanup Week with a kickoff event at Grinnell’s Beach, Saturday from 9 a.m.-noon, rain or shine. Free bags and gloves will be available to Tiverton residents for continued independent cleanups throughout the week. Free food and swag will also be available thanks to sponsors, Georges Gas & Service Stafford Road, Phil’s Propane, Classic Pizza, and Dunkin Donuts Tiverton.

This year’s spring cleanup is in memory of Donald Machado of Coastal Roasters. Prior to his passing, Donald inspired the Tiverton Litter Committee to draw attention to litter issues adjacent to businesses, such as Coastal Roasters. Donald reached out asking for help cleaning up the sea wall behind the town’s popular coffee shop. Please check the tide and wear proper footwear if you’d like to help clean up this area.

At the kickoff, Committee Members will suggest areas in town that need special attention for those needing guidance. Families, school groups, community organizations, scout troops, church groups, employee outings, civic groups, those needing community service and individuals are welcome to attend. Documenting cleanups throughout the week is encouraged with participants asked to tag the Instagram account @clean_up_tiverton to bring social media awareness to both the issue and event.

Full bags of litter can be dropped off on the 13th at Grinnell’s Beach during the kick-off event. During the week, fullbags are to be dropped off at the DPW.
