EARTHDAY WEEKEND CLEANUP
The City of Batavia, Genesee County, and the Town of Batavia are looking for volunteers for this year’s EARTHDAY Cleanup focusing on Ellicott Trail
Volunteers and municipal staff will join together to collect trash and debris along the Ellicott Trail.
Please join us on Saturday, April 24, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. in the parking lot behind the City of Batavia Fire Station on Evans Street (behind 18 Evans).
Gloves, trash bags, and a trail assignment will be given out to complete the 5 miles of Ellicott Trail. The disposal of all trash collected will be handled by City of Batavia Bureau of Maintenance.
EARTHDAY Cleanup is a coordinated volunteer event, providing opportunities for individuals and organizations to make positive, tangible impacts on our environment and to keep the Ellicott Trail clean.
“The City of Batavia thanks all those community members who are volunteering to cleanup and keep Ellicott Trail looking good this EARTHDAY Cleanup Weekend. Your help to keep our City clean and safe is much appreciated,” said Eugene Jankowski Jr., City Council President.
Vice Chairwoman of the Genesee County Legislature and City Resident, Marianne Clattenburg said, “by joining together and assisting in the cleanup effort we can give residents and visitors a better experience on the Ellicott Trail. I am excited to participate and hope community members and service groups will join us.”
“Ellicott Trail was built as a collaborative partnership between the City, Town and County and we will continue to maintain the Trail for public use and enjoyment. While this is the inaugural Trail Cleanup there will be many more opportunities to volunteer and keep our collective community beautiful,” said Chad Zambito, Town Board member, Town of Batavia.
