Green Up Day is coming to Rockingham, Saturday, May 7! Families and interested parties can pick up the familiar green bags to clean up neighborhoods, roads, parks and playgrounds. Bags are available at the J&H Hardware, the Saxtons River Market, Town Clerk's Office, and Lisai's Market.
Vermont's Agency of Natural Resources has granted an exemption from Act 148 – The Universal Recycling and Composting Act for Green-Up Day. For this event, trash and recycled containers can be mixed together in one bag. Once an area is clean, the green bags can be left by the side of the road for town-wide pick-up on May 9 or dropped off at the Rockingham Highway Garage, or the Bellows Falls Garage. Trucks will no longer be stationed in Saxtons River. Tires will not be accepted at the other locations,
People are free to pick-up green bags on their own and independently do their own clean-up around their neighborhoods/parks/roadways. Wear bright clothing; best to use gloves, check for ticks, and watch out for poison ivy. Do not pick up any needles, but notify the police of location. Please do not bring Green Up bags to the Recycling Center before May 7th. They should be left by the side of the road for pick up by the town on May 9th.
