Published on Tuesday, September 25, 2007
On Tuesday September 18, 2007 the freshman class of the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School conducted a beach clean-up in Harwich as the kick-off activity of the Cape Cod Tech Community Service Learning Program. The students spent three hours on Tuesday afternoon (9/18) cleaning two Nantucket Sound beaches, the Earle Street and Bank Street Beaches. The students also gathered and collated data on the trash collected and have utilized this data in their classes back at school. The students were supervised by Cape Cod Tech faculty members and AmeriCorps personnel. 968 pounds of trash was removed from the two beaches, 321 pounds of which was recyclable and was recycled. For more information please contact Mrs. Nancy Knight who headed the committee that organized the event at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School at (508) 432-4500 ext. 320.
