11/7/20: Singley Park Clean-up

Date: November 7th, 2020


Location: Singley Park; 425 Woodfern Road, Hillsborough, NJ 08844


Parks Normal Uses: 

  • Sports

    • Softball

    • Soccer

Total Trash Weight (lbs): 30 pounds

Time Spent: 2.5 hours


Expected Trash Type:

  • Sports garbage

    • Plastic bottles

    • bar wrappers

  • Masks 


Found Trash Types (unexpected):

  • Metal bench in the woods

  • Sandbags (many of them)

  • Diapers

  • Golf balls (one was destroyed)



Where the Litter may be Coming From: 

  • The metal bench could have been deemed unused, so it was put into the woods for some reason instead of being taken care of properly.

  • Sandbags are used to hold down the soccer nets, but they were in the woods, so -- like the bench -- it was thrown into the woods.  

  • The diaper was under a tree, so I guess someone did not feel the need to dispose of it. 


Ideas for Future Cleanups:

  • Take drinkable water/food in the cart if longer than an hour because some wanted water very often.
