After a two-year pandemic hiatus, I’d like to thank the Town of Southeast, the Village of Brewster and all the many volunteers who came out to help clean up our roadsides. 

On Earth Day weekend dozens of Southeast and village residents came out to spring-clean our neighborhoods. Using brightly colored orange trash bags and with the help of our town carter, who provided gloves, safety vests and trash grabbers, Southeast roadways were cleared of winter litter. 

Volunteers were courteous, helpful and often offered to clean roadsides and neighborhoods other than their own. As always, our Town Highway Department helped with the setup and, more importantly, removed all trash bags left alongside side our streets.

It’s especially important to thank Supervisor Tony Hay and Highway Superintendent Michael Burdick whose help organizing the event was invaluable. And, of course, many, many thanks to all our residents who helped make our Earth Day cleanup such a success.
