First Saturday: Ridgefield Green + Clean

Help keep our Ridgefield community green and clean by participating in some of our April First Saturday activities on Saturday, April 6!

#RidgefieldTrashTag

For the month of April, help keep the Ridgefield community clean by picking up trash or beautifying an area that needs it! To participate, take a Before and After picture of a public area in Ridgefield after you have either:

• Picked Up Trash – choose a community/neighborhood park, trail, or path and pick up trash.
• Beautified the Area – this can be in a front yard or community area (with permission – i.e. a tree well), planting flowers, weeding, and more.

Post your before and after pictures on social media, tag the City of Ridgefield, and use the hashtag #RidgefieldTrashTag
