Green Up MAY!

Green Up 2022 

 Vermont is a special place, and the Green Up Day event is a fine example of why that is the case.  A huge thank you for your part in making this happen in 2022. 

 We got off to a late start in the promotion of the event, but your dedication to Green Up made it work.  We have 68 roads (or road sections), and we managed to cover 50% of them.  Not bad with a week’s notice.   

To try and get the other 50% covered, we are changing Green Up Day to Green Up May!  Many folks will be going into the town office to pay their taxes.  There will be a poster about Green Up May with a sign-up for the roads that weren’t covered.  I am putting my money on more participation over the rest of the month. 

When you finished your route, we asked what you saw most frequently…beverage containers were hands down the winner.  Budweiser and Twisted Tea take the cake.  We asked how many bags you picked up.  We have had from 2 to 9 bags on a single route.  Lastly, we asked what was the most unusual item you found….box spring, refrigerator, car speakers, tires, cross bow arrow and carpet…..But, we also heard about the wildflowers, fiddleheads and even a black bear. 

 As we drive down the clean roads, we can be proud of what we accomplished.
