Saturday: Guilford Rotary 'Clean Up the Earth Day'

The following is an event listing posted on the community calendar.

The Annual Guilford Clean Up the Earth Day will take place on Saturday, May 3 — with a rain date of Sunday, May 4.

The Guilford Rotary has taken up the roll of sponsoring and running this event with Rotarian & Selectman Cindy Cartier chairing the event.

WHAT IS IT?  It’s a town wide clean up event! Guilford neighbors and friends volunteer for an hour (or more) to pick up litter along streets, waterways, trails, and public areas of town.

WHERE IS IT?  The central meeting/assignment area will be on the Guilford Green (directly across from Town Hall). Trucks for trash/recycling collection will be located in the Town Hall parking lot.

WHEN IS IT?  ALL WEEKEND. But the Clean-Up Committee will be on the Green on Saturday, May 3rd (Rain date, May 4th) from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. distributing trash bags, gloves, reflective vests, water and snacks. Find our web link on the Town of Guilford web site.

HOW CAN I HELP?  Select an area. You or your organization may reserve a route in advance: call Selectman Cindy Cartier 203-916 2430/email: cynthia.cartier@comcast.net or come to the Green May 3rd (or May 4th) for an assignment. Collect trash in your area. Then bring the trash, recycling, tires or metal to the marked collection area behind Town Hall. The trucks will be available all weekend.    

*WE CAN NOT ACCEPT PAINT CANS OR OTHER HAZARDOUS WASTE.

WHO CAN HELP?  Everyone. Elementary and Middle School students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. We look forward to your helping us to Clean Up the Earth and Guilford!!!!
