Hopkinton's Sustainable Green Committee will be holding its 4th Annual Spring Green Up on the Town Common at 9:00 am on April 28th. Many town organizations, clubs and neighborhoods will again be participating in the effort to clean up Hopkinton. Residents are encouraged to grab a pair of gloves and a garbage bag and either head out your door to pick up trash, or identify an area of town that needs clean up and head there. Plans have been made to work with town groups to organize clean up of areas in need. Please let committee members know where you plan to go so that there is better coverage of the town and clean up efforts are not duplicated.
"Let's make this year our best year yet," said Frank D'Urso.
Harvey’s will be donating three dumpsters for the effort as well as help will be coming from the police department to identify illegal dumping areas in town. Group leaders will meet at the Town Common at 9:00AM on April 28th.
"We will also be handing out gloves and trash bags on the Town Common at that time for anyone who is interested," said D'Urso.
In conjunction with Spring Green Up Day, the town will be offering a "Shred Day" also on April 28th. A Harvey shredding truck will be parked at the Center School from 9am - 2pm for town residents to drop off paper for shredding.
Hopkinton's Sustainable Green Committee meets at 7:30 PM the second and fourth Tuesday of every month in the basement meeting room of the historic Hopkinton Town Hall.
New members and volunteers are always welcome!
