Coinciding with Earth Day weekend, the Newtown Environmental Action Team (NEAT) is holding its next litter pickup on Saturday, April 20, from 9 to 11 am, at the Exit 9 commuter parking lot. The location is one of several litter “hot spots” it has identified following a town-wide survey.

NEAT encourages members of the public to join its monthly cleanups throughout town or to suggest sites for future cleanup. Gloves and bags will be provided.
