This annual event encourages community members to come together and clean up their neighborhood roads, parks, and waterways.
On Green Up Day, volunteers head outside to gather trash along the public right of ways, greenbelts, parks. Only official Green Up Day bags can be used. Household trash, bulk items or clean recyclables will not be collected. Full bags can be brought to the Brownell Library parking lot and put in a Public Works dump truck from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. If volunteers can’t make it to the Brownell Library, they can also leave their bags on the side of the road.
Volunteers can contact Ashley Snellenberger at asnellenberger@essexjunction.org or 802-878-6944 to provide their plans for Green Up Day, collect stats, or request more information. You can also find additional information on the Green Up Day website www.greenupvermont.org.
