Join Us for Elizabeth Township’s Annual Roadside Clean Sweep

Let’s Work Together to Keep Our Township Beautiful!

A cleaner community is a happier, healthier place to live. By working together to remove trash, we keep our community clean by picking up litter along our roads and ditches. Taking just a few hours to volunteer can make a long-lasting impact on the well-being of our community.

Spring is approaching, so it’s time for our Annual Trash Cleanup! From Saturday, April 5th to Saturday, April 19th, 2025, community members will come together to pick up litter along our township roadsides and ditches, helping to keep Elizabeth Township clean, safe, and beautiful. This event is a great opportunity to show pride in our community, connect with neighbors, and make a visible difference in the place we call home.
