Today (Sunday, 4/12/15) we worked with 24 volunteers (12 from AmeriCorp, 12 from Clean Bread and Cheese Creek) to clean up some major dumping on Seaside Drive (Near the Dundalk Athletic Club). Together we removed over 75 bags of trash, 16 gallons of used motor oil, 8 large steel poles, 2 tires, a TV, a box spring, a 20 foot section of privacy fence and an entire Car Engine! We can’t possible thank our dedicated volunteers enough for giving up their entire weekend to make a huge difference to our environment and our community! We would also like to thank Entenmann’s Discount Bakery for donating donuts and Pat’s Pizza for donating pizza to fee all our very hungry volunteers! Thank you all for all your hard work!

Despite a very chilly and overcast morning, today (4/25/15) over 745 volunteer descended upon Bear Creek to work with Clean Bread and Cheese Creek as we removed over 1,221 bags of trash from the park and shoreline!!! This what we believe is the largest cleanup participation in the Dundalk EVER!!! Our incredible volunteer worked from Bear Creek Elementary School (which we were restricted from cleaning behind) to General John Stricker Middle School (which we were restricted form cleaning behind) and Charlesmont Park – the area was nearly spotless!!! We completely filled a 40 yard dumpster of bags filled with bottles, fast food packaging, lawn decorations, pieces of broken furniture, clothing, balls (golf, soccer, baseball, softball, football and more!), plastic bins, Styrofoam, plastic bags and broken sports equipment! In addition to this we removed 3 shopping carts, 3 skateboards, 2 bicycles, a full propane tank, a steel 55 gallon drum and a plastic 55 gallon drum! We could have cleaned much more with so many enthusiastic volunteers but we were unfortunately restricted form cleaning behind any of the three area schools (Bear Creek Elementary School, General John Stricker Middle School, and Charlesmont Elementary School). Volunteers you have outdone yourselves again and we could not be more grateful for all your hard work!!! 612 Volunteer alone arrived from Towson University in 14 school busses and dozens of cars! We also have volunteers from AmeriCorp, American Rivers, St. Timothy’s Schools for Girls, the US Navy, BGE, the US Army, Service Coordination Inc., and many community members! (If we forgot to mention your group, we apologize, please let us know and we will add them. This photos are just a small a few we took during the day, we are looking forward to seeing all the photos taken by the photographers which we will post as soon as we receive them. Thank again everyone for such and wonderful job
