On Feb. 24, Troy Mayor Patrick Madden announced an informational meeting about the Collar City’s annual Earth Day Cleanup event for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 26 in the Main Conference Room of City Hall at 433 River St. All interested residents and community members are invited to attend and provide information on neighborhood cleanup projects.
Mayor Madden said “Getting involved with local Earth Day cleanup programs gives Troy residents an opportunity to make a direct impact on improving the quality of life in their neighborhood. This year’s informational meeting will help develop meaningful cleanup programs, an essential part of advancing the goals of Earth Day in the Collar City.”
Each year, residents, families and business owners come together to organize community-driven cleanup and beautification projects at local parks, green spaces, and neighborhoods across Troy. In 2019, approximately 15 individual projects were organized with more than 100 participants lending a hand to improve their corner of the city.
To organize a project in your neighborhood, please contact Renee Panetta, Troy’s recycling coordinator, at (518) 279-7171 or renee.panetta@troyny.gov.
