It feels like Spring is here and that means only 3 weeks til Green Up Day!!! If you already have your bags go enjoy the warmth and sunshine and start filling them with the mountains of trash littering our roadsides. If you don't have your bags it's time to sign up for your roads and get some!!!
Please note that we do not have roadside bag pickup available. Leaving your filled bags on the roads does not help us "clean up"…..in fact it results in a highly visible clutter and potentially bigger mess when our abundant wildlife tears open the sweet smelling garbage. Store your filled bags in your garage or barn, join the fun on Saturday morning May 7th at the Transfer Station and bring them in to be counted!! If you can't be there, ask your neighbor to bring them in.
Also a word on tires. As you know you can drop off tires you find on the roadside on Green Up Day for free!!! However the Conservation Commission still has to pay Casella a discounted charge for each tire they receive. We are limiting the number of tires to 6 per family to make sure we stay within our budget.
The sign up map (and bags) are available at the Corinth Town Hall on Monday and Tuesday, at the Blake Memorial Library on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and at the Corinth Transfer Station every Saturday morning. This is a new schedule….providing more opportunities for East Corinth sign ups. You can also sign up on the Corinth Home page at https://corinthvt.org/.
The winner of the individual or couple competition for the most bags brought to the Transfer Station on Green Up Day will receive a Taste of Corinth Gift bag which includes:
herbal tincture by Root Vine Healing
pizza voucher at pizza night from Crossmolina Farm
dozen eggs from Hop n Goat farm
bottle of wine from Montview Vineyard
gift bag by Moxee Art
4pack of chocolate truffles by Hermits Haven
loaf of bread from Trukenbrod Bakery
cheese from Three Cow Creamery
pint of maple syrup from Sweet Bear Farm
bag of coffee from Vittles Espresso
Our group winner will see their group name on a plaque at the FX Shea Town Forest.
We will also be holding our raffle, for every bag you bring in you'll receive a raffle ticket for a $10 gift certificate to each of our Taste of Corinth vendors.
Grab your bags and head out now and start collecting….it's time to make Corinth beautiful again!!
