The Westfield Conservation Commission will host the City-Wide Earth Day Clean-Up on Saturday April 26, 2025, from 8:00am to 1:00pm.

The clean-up will kick off at 8:00 AM with a light breakfast at Mount Moriah Lodge located at 72 Broad Street. After a quick safety review and distribution of safety and collection supplies, volunteers will collect litter and debris at assigned locations throughout the city. At noon, all are welcome back to Mount Moriah for lunch and to return the clean-up supplies. Just a few hours of clean-up make a big difference; last year alone, volunteers collected 3.5 tons of trash, 25 tires, 3 mattresses, and two boats!

As part of the clean-up, Hartsprings Foundation will host a “Fill a Truck Event.” All Westfield residents are welcome to drop off gently used clothing, textiles, and goods from 9am-1pm at Mount Moriah Lodge. In 2024, the community donated 1,206 lbs of clothes and 462 lbs of home goods. Visit https://hartsprings.org/what-to-donate-3/ for a list of acceptable items to donate.

Volunteers are encouraged to complete the registration form and volunteer waiver that can be found at www.cityofwestfield.org/earthday. Participants under the age of 18 will require a parent or guardian signature in order to volunteer. Walk-ins the day of are welcomed, though pre-registering allows the Commission to prepare supplies for all volunteers.
