GREEN UP DAY IS ALWAYS THE FIRST SATURDAY IN MAY!
The first Green Up Day was launched by Governor Deane Davis in 1970. Since that time, thousands of Vermonters of all ages and walks of life have come together on the first Saturday in May to clean up their communities by picking up litter from roadsides, waterways, woods and public areas. This is just a very small history of Green Up Day. You can learn more at:greenupvermont.org!
We look forward to seeing you all again this year, with hopefully some new faces and helping hands! Please come over to the Town Green between 9am and 11am on Saturday May 4th to pick up FREE Green Up Bags and gloves, and to register on the Town Road Map for a road or area to Green Up!
Our Road Crew will be out picking up Green Up Bags from every road in town to take to the Transfer Station on Monday, May 6th. Please make sure to leave the bags where you left off, tied shut and placed just off the side of the road. Just to clarify, NO furniture will be accepted as "Green Up" waste. Likewise, only waste in a bright green "Green Up" bag will be accepted as Green Up waste. Any tires, batteries, large/awkward pieces that you find can be placed on the side of the road with your Green Up bag. Please do not try to haul big or dangerous pieces out to the road. Please call the number below to report the location, or to report dumping sites, hazardous waste dumpsites or animal carcasses.
The Health Department would like us to remind everyone to be dressed for the occasion. Tick season is upon us, and it's bad! Please check to make sure you are tick-free after Greening Up!
I hope to see you on the Town Green between 9am & 11am on Saturday, May 4th. It's so nice to see more people involved each passing year, and we really appreciate your time and assistance in this State Wide clean-up effort!
THANK YOU New Haven residents for doing your part to Keep Vermont Clean and Green!
