HANOVER — Mayor Thomas “Ace” Gallagher has announced an all-volunteer flood remediation initiative aimed at supporting the Whippany/Passaic River Flood Remediation Task Force. The township will host its annual “Clean-Up Day” on Saturday, October 4, 2025, with a rain date scheduled for Saturday, October 11.
The event will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and focus on tree removal, de-snagging of rivers, and cleanup along the banks of the Whippany River. Several high-priority sites have been identified where volunteer efforts will be most impactful.
“This event builds on our ongoing efforts to address flooding in Hanover Township,” said Mayor Gallagher. “By bringing together a volunteer network of contractors, non-profits, civic organizations, and resident volunteers, we can assist with efforts vital to improving water flow and reducing future property damage.”
Those interested in participating—whether as individuals, groups, or contractors—are encouraged to contact Mayor Gallagher at (973) 441-0114 or by email at [email protected].
Additional information, including designated clean-up sites, will be posted on the township’s website and social media platforms as the event date approaches.
