Monday, April 22, 2024
8:30 am to 3:00 pm
 
Spring is on its way! Would you, your business, organization, or school class be interested in volunteering your time to help us clean up the Community after our long and cold winter?
 
You provide the people power, and we will provide the location options, latex gloves, garbage bags and drop-off points.
 
We plan to have our Community Clean-up Day on Earth Day 2024, to celebrate the protection of the environment.

Event Information Provided Below

It's residents like you that make our community so great, thank you!
If you are a group, organization or club and would like to participate, but aren't able to Monday, April 22 an alternate date can be scheduled for the garbage pickup.

The winter snow hides a lot of garbage and recyclable material, which we are looking to pick up and dispose of properly.  Please leave tied and filled bags near the roadside at the blue point as indicated on the map and Town crews will come and collect them.

All garbage bags must be left at indicated location points by 3:00pm.
