The Wilton Conservation Commission held another successful Townwide Clean Up Day this past Saturday, April 5, 2025, with approximately 100 hard-working volunteers who collaborated to collect 1.1 tons of litter (2,200 pounds) along Wilton’s roads and the banks of the Norwalk River.
This year’s success was made possible with help from the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Wilton Kiwanis, Wilton’s Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Wilton High School, and many dedicated families and neighbors. Volunteers met at the gazebo on Saturday morning, where the Conservation Commission handed out garbage bags and work gloves. Volunteers then spread out around town to pick up litter and help make Wilton a more beautiful place.
To top off the event, the Commission raffled off gift certificates provided by Wilton Hardware and Wilton Kiwanis. The lucky volunteers won prizes that included gift cards to local businesses. Pinocchio’s Pizza again supported the event by offering free pizza for the participants—a welcome treat after a day of work in the poor weather conditions.
