Halstead and Metroflor Sponsor "Save the Sound" Beach Cleanup
Norwalk, Conn. -- Halstead and Metroflor Corporations sponsored a beach cleanup Saturday, May 18, with Save the Sound and the Connecticut Fund for the Environment at Boccuzzi Park in Stamford, Conn. This is the third consecutive year the companies have sponsored an event along the shores of the state.
The event was held 9-11 am at the 12-acre public park complete with a beach, marina, playground, softball field, and basketball and tennis courts on Long Island Sound. Open to the public, the event drew 15 volunteers who collected trash in the park and beachfront. From cigarette butts, bottle caps, plastic wrappers/straws/bottles and glass bottles (broken and unbroken) to aluminum cans and even a truck tire, 115 lbs. of refuse were removed.
