Join Tenafly Nature Center, Tenafly Environmental Commission, Tenafly’s Green Team, and Tenafly High School’s Green Team to lend a hand for a good cause! The trash-a-thon is an annual event that brings community members of all ages together to clean up garbage and litter found around local streets, parks, and the nature center.
Anyone can volunteer to pick up trash, either as an individual or as a family team.
Meet at Huyler Park for assignments and supplies (walk-up registration accepted)
If a person cannot volunteer but wants to support this event they are welcome to sponsor the event.
Similar to a walk-a-thon, where you raise money from sponsors for each mile walked, a trash-a-thon is a way of raising donations for the number of garbage bags filled while you spend a few hours cleaning up the community. Leading up to the day of the cleanup, volunteers are encouraged to collect pledges (donations) from their network. A suggested pledge could range from $5 – $10 per bag of garbage.
All funds raised from Trash-a-thon will be used to support Tenafly Nature Center
How To Sign Up:
Register: Click the Register button to sign up as a volunteer or sponsor. You may sign up just yourself or your family “team”.
Collect Pledges: Contact your family, friends, co-workers, community, etc. and ask if they’d like to make a donation. Ask those willing to support your effort to visit here (https://tncnj.org/event-6473947) to make their pledge/donation. If pledgers would prefer to donate via cash or check, TNC encourages checks to be made out to the sponsored volunteer, and the volunteer makes a donation through this event on the pledger’s behalf.
If you are not comfortable using the website, please call the TNC office at 201-568-6093 and they will gladly assist you.
