Green Up Day

Past event
May 4, 2019, 9 AM to 1 PM

Want to help make Montpelier shine? Grab your friends, join your neighbors, and get involved in Green Up Day on Saturday, May 4th!

If you'd like volunteer with Montpelier's Green Up Day efforts, stop by Montpelier Alive's Green Up Day table at the downtown Capital City Farmers Market this Saturday, May 4th, between 9am-1pm. At the Green Up Day table, we'll provide you with Green Up Day bags and gloves, and help you adopt a stretch of roadway to green up. We'll also have coupons for volunteers which can be redeemed for goodies at local businesses from around the city on Green Up Day.
Volunteers helping to green up Montpelier can leave Green Up Day bags curbside within city limits. The crew from the Montpelier Department of Public Works will pick up the bags of litter after Green Up Day.

If you're not able to make it to the Farmer's Market on the morning of Green Up Day, you can still volunteer. You can pick up Green Up Day bags in advance of May 4th from the Montpelier City Clerk's Office.

To help coordinate Montpelier's Green Up Day efforts, use our online mapping tool to claim an area to pick up litter from. The online mapping tool allows volunteers to see which areas have been claimed and which ones we still need help with in real time. To claim a stretch of road, park, or parking lot using the online tool, visit www.montpelieralive.org/greenupmap. Using the mapping tool, click the small Green Up Day icon under the search bar, and then select a street, park, or parking lot. This will allow you to "adopt" the area. Indicate the number of volunteers participating in your Green Up Day team and how many bags of litter were collected in the fields provided to assist us in planning for future Green Up Day efforts.

Thank you for your help making Montpelier sparkle!
