BENNINGTON — The Green Mountain State will be even greener than usual on Saturday, as thousands of volunteers across the state join together to pick up litter from their towns.
“The beauty of Green Up Day is that anybody can do it — regardless of age, where you live, race, political views — none of that matters.
Please let the Town Office know the location of where you will be cleaning up, as this will help facilitate the collection of bags left on roadsides.
Volunteers are encouraged to bring a kayak or canoe to remove litter from the lake, too.
Pick up bags at Town Clerk’s office or Transfer Station, which is open Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Let Jody Berard-Kemp know where you will be cleaning up and she will make sure bags get picked up.
If bags are too heavy, or questionable items are found, coordinators are to be notified, and pick up of those items will be done by coordinator or a town official.
Bags available at the Town Clerk’s Office during the week prior to Green Up Day.
Bring full bags back to the Town Office dumpster on Green Up Day, the Landfill, or leave bags along roadsides.
