Our Litter Clean-up teams help keep our streets, waterways, and surrounding landscapes free of litter and garbage. The Jonah Center conducts clean-ups in Middletown and surrounding towns throughout the year. See the latest events below!
Join us for our 2026 clean-up events! (weather permitting)
Event #1: Long Lane Multi-Use Trail
When: Saturday, April 4th at 10AM!
Meeting Location: Park in the dirt lot (parking for the gardens) located on the corner of Long Lane and Long Hill Road; entrance located here.
Use this Registration Form to let us know that you plan to be there.
Our mission: We will be cleaning up the litter that has accumulated along Long Lane’s multiuse trail, between Long Hill and Wadsworth streets.
Equipment: We will provide “nifty nabbers” and visibility/safety vests. If you have nifty nabbers of your own, please bring them. We will provide the trash bags.
Safety Tips: We recommend boots, long pants/sleeves, and work gloves. Please check yourself for ticks afterwards, as they are often present in woodsy/leaf-littered areas. In the case of inclement weather, we will email registered volunteers regarding cancellation.
Event #2: Middletown boat launch and lower Midden paths
When: Saturday, May 9th – Save the Date! More details to come!
