Roadside Clean-Up in NG

The New Gloucester Democratic Committee encourages you to celebrate Earth Day by joining a town-wide litter patrol anytime between Thursday, April 21 and Saturday, April 23. You can participate by cleaning up the roadside in your neighborhood whenever you have some free time.

During the interval of litter patrol days, the NG transfer station is open on: Thursday 9 to 7, Friday 9 to 2 and Saturday 9 to 5. Please recycle whenever possible. Items accepted are: newspapers, #2 corrugated cardboard, glass containers, magazines, HDPE plastic, plus aluminum and tin cans.
Keep in mind these safety tips (some may seem obvious) while performing this roadside project:

1. Children should be carefully supervised.
2. Wear bright colors, closed-in hard soled shoes/boots, long pants and sturdy gloves. Safety glasses (or plastic lens sunglasses) are recommended.
3. Stay alert - watch out for traffic (especially on the numbered highways).
4. Don't overexert yourself. Get assistance when lifting heavy items.
5. Take breaks and drink water.

The rewards for your efforts will be a spruced-up town and possibly some pocket change from bottle and can deposits. Thanks in advance for your help.
