East Windsor Receives New Jersey Clean Communities Grant

East Windsor received a $39,492.37 Clean Communities Grant to help cleanup the township, according to a news release.

As part of the grant, Mayor Janice Mironov and the East Windsor Clean Communities Committee created the Adopt-A-Spot program that allows community groups and organizations to “adopt” an area to clean up throughout the year, the release said. A placard is placed at the site saying who cleaned it up. 

“The program has involved hundreds of young people and been a tremendous success in instilling community awareness and pride, while helping to support the community activities and community service of these worthwhile youth groups,” Mironov said in the release.

The cleanup occurs three times a month from the beginning of April through November 1 this year, the release said. The grant, which is distributed for litter pickup and removal, is funded from a tax on litter-generating products.
