Annual John Clyde Stream Clean Up: Mile Run

The Franklin Township Environmental Commission (FTEC) is inviting residents to clean up Mile Run

Saturday, April 15, 2023, 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon

Stream clean up is our tradition started by former Franklin mayor John Clyde. 

For this important  project, the FTEC is partnering with New Brunswick Environmental Commission (NBEC), Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership (LRWP), Friends of Mile Run, AmeriCorps, The Watershed Institute (TWI) and others. 

We can’t do it without you! Boys and Girls Clubs, Schools, Environmental Clubs, Businesses, Corporations and individuals, young and old, are invited to participate in this community event. Since 2007, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, we have removed more than 26,000 pounds of garbage from streams in our town. During our site pre-screening, we have identified lots of bottles, plastic plates, utensils, bags, tires and even abandoned vehicle. 

Registration is mandatory and includes liability waiver. Please follow the link:

We will kick off the clean up from the intersection of Hamilton and Woodbridge Streets at 9:30 AM. Stream Clean-up coordinators will meet you there and get you started. Parking: Mile Run Brook Parking – Saint Peter and Paul Church | 285 Hamilton Street, Somerset.
