The Brookfield Community Club is excited to announce the following community events:
The 10th annual John T. O’Leary Memorial Operation Clean Sweep will be held in Brookfield on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
John O’Leary single-handedly organized the town wide cleanup for many years until his death. Pausing only during the pandemic, this is the 10th year since the event was named in his memory.
As part of Operation Clean Sweep, we will celebrate Earth Day during the month of April. Earth Day’s theme this year is "OUR POWER, OUR PLANET".
Brookfield residents can once again participate in Operation Clean Sweep to help rid local streets and roads of the litter and trash thrown out of passing cars. Volunteers can sign up individually, as a family or with a group, to tackle a specific street on a day that works with their schedule on or around Saturday, April 25.
Operation Clean Sweep is coordinated by the Brookfield Community Club. Our partners include the Brookfield Board of Health, the Town of Brookfield Highway Department, and Quaboag & Quacumquasit Lake Association (QQLA).
- Orange bags can be picked up at Tip Top Co-op OR the Transfer Station during the month of April.
- Bags will also be available on the Brookfield Town Common on Saturday, April 25th from 8:00 - 9:00 am.
- When the bags are full, they can be dropped off at the Transfer Station before 3:00 pm, or left on the side of the road the volunteer has been cleaning.
- Orange bags that are left roadside will be picked up by the Highway Department on Monday, April 27th.
