It’s not just a through-street, it’s OUR street
More than 25 neighbors sprung into action this spring to collect 35+ bags of refuse and 30+ bags of leaves and debris. See what we’ve collected:
Breakneck Hill Road
May 8th, 2021
We rallied with our neighbors and collected 66 bags of trash on a 1.3 mile stretch of road in less than 4 hours!
We grabbed our neighbors, our vests, trash bags and pickers and headed up the road!
Scott Pond
April 3rd, 2021
Here we are back at Lower Road! When we continue to clean the bank, we teach our community that this is NOT a dumping ground for refuse. With frequent cleanup and maintenance of the area, it discourages individuals from being the FIRST to cast away their bottles and cans into the pond.

Historic Breakneck Hill Road
April 18th, 2021
How many times have you driven by and thought, “how terrible, all that trash…”? Well, we thought that, too, and we decided to do something about it. With the help of our unofficial safety officer from the Lodge and our collaborators from Keep Blackstone Valley Beautiful, we were able to collect 19 bags of trash from the side of the road. Most commonly found were single use beverage containers including coffee cups, nips, beer cans and bottles and take out food containers.

It starts with an idea…
One person is all you need!
Lonsdale Cemetery
November, 2020
Across from Central Elementary, graves from 1600s- 1903
Cleaned up a massive amount of brush, vines, branches, down and dead trees, leaves raked, grave markers recovered
Oak Grove Cleanup, October 2020
“Friends of the Ten Mile and Bucklin Brook will be concluding our season by joining the folks at Blackstone Valley Cemetery Association for a cleanup along the path of Bucklin Brook in the back of Oak Grove Cemetery. This area is a small wetland and salamander breeding ground in the spring as well as the final resting place of many area residents. Proper respect must be paid. By coming, you agree to do so at your own risk and that Friends of the and Bucklin Brook are not responsible for any injury or loss suffered as a result of taking part in this activity or travel to and from.”

Scott Pond Cleanup, August 2020
Scott Pond, Saylesville
With the Lincoln Rhode Island Community Cleanup Crew, founded by Stephanie Santos in August 2020, she set out to empower her neighbors living around the pond to clean up the broken glass, single-use containers, fishing line and hooks, plastic bags, mattresses and tires. This is an ongoing project to restore the health of the pond. Perhaps, one day soon we will be able to jump in the pond again!
