In an upbeat mood and ready to pitch in, townspeople came out this time last year for the community beach cleanup in Barnegat Light, and it’s happening again Saturday, Sept. 9 at 9 a.m.

The gathering place is the street-end walkway and deck on the 29th Street oceanfront.

The sponsoring Barnegat Light Taxpayers Association is providing grabbers and contractor bags for this Beach and Town Cleanup.

Following the cleanup, participants will meet back on the 29th Street deck and walkway for beverages, snacks and cookies. Grabbers can be kept as a thank-you.

“We decided to repeat this because it was successful last year,” said taxpayers association President Rich Brodman.
