Beautify Brewster 2023: A Huge Success!

Luckily the rain held off making Saturday, April 29 the perfect day for the townwide “Beautify Brewster” cleanup. BPC had the biggest turnout ever, with 38 BPC volunteers participating in the two-hour cleanup that started at the intersection of Satucket and Slough Roads. Due to the large number of volunteers, five new cleanup routes were added. The Department of Natural Resources created very detailed sheets to document the type of trash picked up. The largest item collected was cigarette butts. However, single-use Nip bottles were a close second with 3,144 collected townwide. Tallying these bottles was helpful in the passage of the Single Use Nip Ban Article at the May 1 Town Meeting, making Brewster one of the Cape leaders in this important environmental initiative. BPC thanks all of our eager volunteers for their help in this annual endeavor.
