Adopt-a-Road Cleanup
We perform regular cleanups of S. Egg Harbor Road between the Hammonton Library and the intersection of 9th St. See our Facebook page for upcoming dates. Bags, grabbers & gloves will be provided, please wear sturdy shoes and bring drinking water. This is the perfect way to get your civic club, Scout troop, or other group outside in Nature and working for our community! No RSVP necessary, children under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
