Contributed photo The Emmaus Borough/Upper Milford Township Joint Environmental Advisory Council hosted its annual Earth Day cleanup April 20 at sites in and around the borough and township. Service organizations, Scout troops, business groups, student volunteers and others traditionally join forces to pick up litter, clear debris and other tasks. Borough and township residents also take advantage of shredding and electronics recycling services during the event.
