WOONSOCKET CONTINUES “GETTING IT DONE” 
 
 
WOONSOCKET, R.I.:  The City of Woonsocket was recently recognized for exhibiting  responsible environmental stewardship that positively impacts the Blackstone Valley by Keep Blackstone Valley Beautiful, the environmental education arm of the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council. 
 
"On behalf of all Woonsocket residents, the City proudly accepts this impressive recognition from such a well-respected environmental advocacy champion,” said Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt.   
 
In a recent letter to City leaders, Keep Blackstone Valley Beautiful Director Donna Kaehler praised Woonsocket for its proactive support and contributions to end litter and reduce waste.  As a result, Woonsocket's efforts have helped the organization to remove 2,800 pounds of litter collected during company-hosted Earth Day cleanups and 1,900 pounds of litter collected during its Tree Hugger Tuesday cleanup events held in 2019.   
 
"I would also like to extend our many thanks to Superintendent of Solid Waste/Engineering Michael Debroisse who serves as the City's liaison to                     Keep Blackstone Valley Beautiful and the residents who volunteer their time," said Mayor Baldelli-Hunt.
