About this event
The annual Ballston Lake Clean Up Day is set for Saturday, May 4. Volunteers are welcome to join in by showing up at the Ballston Lake Fire Department, on Route 146-A to pick up their road assignments.
The project involves doing a clean sweep of winter trash on local roadways in the hamlet of Ballston Lake and its environs. The Burnt Hills Ballston Lake Business Professional Association, the Ballston Lake Improvement Association and the Town of Ballston sponsor the spring clean-up of accumulated roadside debris. Scores of local residents, businesspeople, town authorities and local organizations including scout troops, confirmation classes and students in need of community service projects show up to volunteer. The annual event dates back to the mid-1970s. The Town of Ballston parks a large truck at the Ballston Lake Fire Department and at the Outlet Road Parking lot for volunteers to deposit their bags when they have finished their assignments.
Participants are urged to wear closed-toed shoes and gloves and may bring garden tools like rakes and grabbers. Volunteers can pick up their street assignments and receive free tee shirts, coupons for Stewart’s Shops ice cream cones, and donuts donated by Lakeside Farm and FoCasle Farm. Vinyl gloves and trash bags will be provided. Hours are from 8 AM through 10 AM at the Ballston Lake Fire House on May 4.
