KINDERHOOK – The Village of Kinderhook Climate Smart Task Force and Kinderhook Runners Club will again host Dash for Trash, a free, family-friendly cleanup event in celebration of Earth Day this Saturday, April 18 rain or shine. Participants will meet in the Village Green at 10 a.m. and take one hour to collect as much litter as they can before returning at 11 a.m. for the results. Prizes will be awarded to the individuals and teams that collect the most debris by weight. We will be offering Junior Dasher, Teen Dasher, Senior Dasher, and Team Dasher divisions. Garbage bags and gloves will be provided. Last year, competitors collected more than 200 pounds of garbage from all over the village. Competitors are also invited to bring their old (gently used) sneakers for recycling.
