Power of an Hour city-wide litter clean up to be held on April 26

posted on 4/22/2025

Join Don't Trash Dover for its second annual Power-of-an-Hour city-wide litter clean up in honor of Earth Day on Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., with organized litter collections in each of Dover’s six wards.

Volunteers will be provided trash bags to pick up as much trash as they can, followed by a group photo of the trash collected.

The litter collections will begin and end at:

• Ward 1: Frances G. Hopkins Elementary School, 78 Horne St.
• Ward 2: Dover Ice Arena, 110 Portland Ave.
• Ward 3 Woodman Park Elementary School, 11 Towle Ave.
• Ward 4 Garrison School, 50 Garrison Road
• Ward 5: Dover Middle School, 16 Daley Dr.
• Ward 6 Hellenic Center, 219 Long Hill Road

Please wear a safety vest or bright clothing. Bring gloves, appropriate walking shoes, and, if you have them, a litter collection tool and/or wagon.

The City of Dover requests new volunteers to complete a Volunteer Service Agreement, and email it to donttrashdover@gmail.com, or bring it with you to the event. If you've already filled one out for a previous Don't Trash Dover event, you don't need to complete a new one.

Event organizer Deb Clough will be a guest on the Dover Download podcast on Tuesday, April 8, where she will discuss the event in more detail. The Dover Download podcast can be found here, or wherever you get your podcasts.
