GREEN UP DAY
SATURDAY, MAY 5, 2018
Essex Town residents: bags are available at Essex Parks and Recreation at 81 Main Street M-F 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to get your bags!
Essex Junction residents: bags are available at the Villages Offices at 2 Lincoln Street M-F from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Please remember:
- All Green-Up litter must be put in specially marked bags.
-The purpose of the day is cleaning roadsides, drainage swales and park/common areas - not personal yard or business site clean-up. Over the past few years, a large number of tires have been deposited at some pick-up sites which appear to have originated from commercial businesses and not from roadway pick-up. Residents are encouraged to contact the Police Department if this type of drop-off is observed.
-No hazardous waste will be accepted; please bring your hazardous waste to the Chittenden Solid Waste District Facilities (872-8100 for information). DO NOT pick up needles or any hazardous waste!
-Tree and branch debris from private property will not be picked up - do not put this material at the curb. The CSWD drop-off facility at the old Town landfill (VT2A and the Circumferential Highway) will accept this material.
-The Town of Essex will pick up rubbish from the following identified drop-off sites, those sites specifically assigned by the Recreation Department, and wherever the specially marked Green-Up Day bags are placed along the road edge:
1. Town Common - across from the Essex Free Library
2. Indian Brook Reservoir
3. Highway Garage / Fire Station - Sand Hill Road
4. Northeast corner of the Susie Wilson Road/Blair Road Intersection
- Ticks will be out. Please wear long pants, closed shoes and use appropriate bug spray.
-All rubbish will be picked up from the above areas on that day or on the following Monday.
-The Town will make arrangements with groups registered with the Recreation Department to pick up debris at additional locations.
- As a thank-you to volunteers, hot dogs, chips, and even some healthy snacks will be available at the Town of Essex Public Works yard on Sand Hill Road from 11 am –1 pm while they last!
Thank you for your help in keeping Essex green!
