Everyone who cares about Walpole and keeping it as picturesque and clean as it can be will be meeting for the Third Annual Walpole Clean Up Day on Saturday, April 25th to rid the roads of the piles of garbage that have collected over the long, cold winter months.

Come as a family, a group or just yourself. Start the morning at 8:00 at the Town Hall, where you’ll pick up free blue bags, have some free coffee and donuts for energy and sign in for a route. Then spend the next three hours collecting as much trash as you can along the road of your choice. Bring the bags, tires, bottles and other garbage to the Town Common, where we will be handing out prizes for most collected, most unusual item, etc.

For the first time this year, yard waste will be counted toward our totals of material collected, but we ask that you take the yard waste directly to the Transfer Station.

Be sure to wear mud-proof shoes and gloves. The clean up will happen rain or shine! It’s fun, and you feel great afterwards.

So, in honor of Earth Day, let’s do this! See you all Saturday the 25th.
