Halstead and Metroflor Sponsor "Save the Sound" Beach Cleanup

Norwalk, Conn. -- Halstead and Metroflor Corporations sponsored a beach cleanup on International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day, Sept 21, at Jennings Beach in Fairfield, Conn. Annalisa Paltauf from Save the Sound, the event organizer, presented Halstead International with a certificate from The Ocean Conservancy recognizing the company’s “dedication and service to The International Coastal Cleanup and commitment to achieving trash free seas.” This was the third year in a row Halstead/Metroflor sponsored a cleanup event along the shores of Long Island Sound, one of 40 being held in the Connecticut on ICC day.

To spread awareness, the 42-strong group of volunteers (6 from Halstead/Metroflor’s Norwalk office and 36 community volunteers) shared the parking lot and cleanup site with the Only You Foundation supporting families with special needs, which held a 5K run that day. Many race participants stopped by the Save the Sound table to find out more about the organization and sign up for future cleanup events.
