Clean Communities
Andover Township’s Clean Communities Program provides funding and guidelines to help keep our beautiful community clean and green. The Clean Communities Grant allows for non-profit and volunteer organizations in Andover Township to raise funds for their organizations, and at the same time, provide education on the importance of litter abatement. So please act now and get your clean-up brigade ready! For further information, contact the Clean Communities Coordinator below.
