GUILFORD ROTARY SPONSORS GUILFORD CLEAN UP THE EARTH DAY EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!

The Annual Guilford Clean Up the Earth Day will take place on Saturday, May 3rd – Rain date Sunday, May 4th 2014.  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.
