NORTH READING — Volunteers are needed to participate in the Town Wide Clean-Up and Brand Audit being held on Sunday, May 19 from 10 a.m. to noon.
Co-sponsored by the NRHS Eco-Team and the NR Green Alliance, check-in will take place at the Town Common where bags and gloves will be available. Community service hours will be available to student participants
The event will also include a “brand audit.” What is a brand audit? A brand audit is like a litter clean-up, but in addition to picking up trash in public areas, participants audit the products, materials, and brands that are ending up in the environment.
