DCSO Litter Clean-Up Crews This Weekend

On a mission to help keep our community clean and safe, Dukes County Sheriff’s Office will be out in Oak Bluffs with litter clean-up crews this Saturday, May 16th and Sunday May 17th, from around 10:00am-2:00pm. Clean-up crews will be working to remove rubbish from the beautiful roadsides, dunes and beaches of the Oak Bluffs Harbor, stretching down to Inkwell Beach. Those passing by may notice marked “Dukes County Sheriff’s Office” vehicles, and that all members of the crew, including Deputies and supervised Justice-Involved individuals, will be practicing social distancing and wearing personal protective equipment while removing litter and restoring public spaces to their pristine conditions.

“As the current Chairman of the Board of Selectman, I would like to thank the Dukes County Sheriff’s Office. The Town of Oak Bluffs is grateful for this collaboration, and for the strong working relationship we have with the Sheriff’s Office.” says Brian Packish, Chairman of the Oak Bluffs Board of Selectman.

“We are happy to support Oak Bluffs and pleased to have the opportunity, during this time when workforces are stretched thin, to provide a no-cost service to give back to our community and town. Community members are spending more and more time enjoying the natural beauty of our island while they keep healthy. We hope this service keeps everyone enjoying the beauty our Island offers, and reduces the impact of litter on our beaches and walkways.” says Sheriff Ogden.
