Well, all that snow has finally melted(!) and it's a gorgeous time of year to get out and pick up trash on our roadsides. Remember - you can clean up your roadsides ANYTIME BEFORE MAY 7! Green Up Day is for dropping off what you've gathered. Details are below.
I'd like to put another call out for someone to collect the returnable bottles and cans that are relatively clean and in good condition. If not for a non-profit fundraiser (church? scouts? school organization or team?) then an enterprising person can collect some easy money. Otherwise, they will end up in the landfill with all the other trash, which is really hard to swallow. Please email me or give me a call and I'll tell you how to coordinate it. And if you are interested, someone has just called me who has many bags of bottles and cans to donate.
Let's all do our part to keep Calais beautiful. Hope to see you there!
