Green Up Day is a special day in Vermont when thousands of volunteers come out in their communities for a massive spring clean up of litter. It is the largest statewide volunteer event in Vermont with over 22,500 taking part, and the only statewide Green Up Day in the United States.
If you would like to be part of Marlboro's Green Up event, just sign up on the bulletin board outside the Marlboro Town Office and highlight the location you will be greening up on the posted map. Trash bags will be available at the Town Office and at Marlboro School.
Then, on Saturday, May 6th, head to your chosen location and fill those bags with trash. Remember to bring work gloves, sunscreen, bug spray, water, snacks and anything else you might want. Also, long pants and long-sleeved shirts can be helpful in wooded areas.
Full bags of trash can be left along the edge of the road at your location and will be picked up by the town road crew at the end of the weekend. PLEASE NOTE: If you Green Up a road that is closed to cars (like the road to South Pond), trash must be brought to the head of the road for pick-up. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: The town road crew uses the highlighted map to determine where to find full bags to collect so it's important that everyone highlight their green-up locations on the map.
COME CELEBRATE! Join us for free coffee, baked treats and water at the Marlboro Community Center from 10am-12pm on Green Up Day. We'll all be there to celebrate your Green Up efforts.

Happy Spring!
