Spring is here so Yes, Green Up day is coming. Now is the time to mark your calendar and make plans to join neighbors, friends and family to Green Up Hinesburg.
Hinesburg Green Up Schedule
Thursday April 25th: Green up Bags become available
- Town Clerks office in the Town Hall
- Carpenter Carse Library
Saturday May 4th: Green Up Day
- 8:30am - Town hall is open as Green Up Central
- 8:30 – 3:30 – Town garage open to drop off collected trash, tires, and metal
- 12:00 – 1:00 – Town Hall for annual lunch.
If you cannot participate on Green Up day due to sports or travel, you can still participate. Pick up bags at the town hall or library and Green Up any time before May 4th. It's easy, just fill out the sign-up sheets when you pick up your Green Up bags to let us know where you plan to work. If you need to leave the Green Up bags along the roadside, no problem, just make sure the bags are secure. As green bags begin to appear along our roads they will indicate to everyone that Green Up has begun.
On Green Up day come to the Town Hall any time after 8:30 am to get your Green Up bags, check and mark the master road map for progress, join a work group or meet up with your community organizations.
Green Up trash, metal and discarded tires (no household trash please!) will be collected at the new town Highway Department facility. Collected trash can be dropped off on Green Up day from 8:30am to 3:30pm. If you can't bring it all to the facility, just let a Green Up helper know where to send our trucks to pick it up.
Be safe while working: Wear gloves and boots, take precautions for ticks and please use caution while on our roadsides.
If you want to help out further, we have a number of supporting activities that need volunteers of all ages. These include
• If you have a volunteer group that wants to participate on a project, call us so we can organize your efforts.
• Help set up and serve our community lunch (11:00 – 1:00)
• Drivers with trucks can help with final pickup of roadside bags (2:00 – 4:00)
• Bring a salad or dessert for the lunch to share with your neighbors.
If you have any questions, want to suggest or work on a special project, or just need to get more information, you can call Phil Pouech at 482-2060 or Rocky Martin at 355-6847.
