Dart Container and Clark Associates joined together recently for a community cleanup event at Long's Park, bringing out 29 volunteers to help care for one of Lancaster's most popular public spaces.

Located northwest of Lancaster city at the intersection of Harrisburg Pike and the Route 30 bypass, Long's Park spans 80 acres of scenic trails, playgrounds and open green space. With its vital role in the local community, the park served as a fitting location for this joint volunteer effort.

The event included nine employees from Dart's local facility and 20 volunteers from Clark Associates. Despite the heat, the volunteers spent two hours removing litter and debris across walking trails, green space and public-use areas. In total, the team collected multiple bags of general trash and litter.

During a brief rain delay, the team of volunteers stayed in the pavilion to regroup and reconnect before heading back out.

Community involvement remains a core value across all Dart locations, with employees actively engaging in projects that enhance the lives of others such as organizing cleanups, educating youths about recycling, supporting local schools, offering free foam polystyrene recycling and donating time and resources to nonprofit organizations.

Dart is actively exploring additional locations for future cleanup efforts to further expand its environmental impact across the state. For information about Dart's commitment to sustainability, visit http://www.dartcontainer.com/sustainability.
