The Southborough Rotary asked me to alert readers about a change of plans for the 33rd annual Earth Day Cleanup event.
As of this afternoon, Saturday is forecast to be rainy, but Sunday should be fine. To make it easier on everyone (volunteers and DPW staff) they revamped the details.
The public is still invited to come by the DPW office on the morning of Saturday, April 26th (8:30 – 11:00 am) to grab the yellow bags for collecting trash.
(You can either select your clean up route then or scroll down for details about signing up to reserve one in advance.)
But now, instead of being expected to complete cleanup before noon, volunteers can do the work any time they prefer on Saturday or Sunday. Just leave the bags at the end of the street.
DPW trucks will make the rounds on Monday morning to pick up the collected trash.
Have a favorite spot that needs TLC? To adopt a favorite street in advance, call Southborough’s Department of Public Works at 508-485-1210 or visit the office to look at their map.
The DPW office is at 147 Cordaville Road (off the driveway for the Transfer Station).
Remember to be prepared with your own work gloves and “sturdy footwear”.
The effort is sponsored each year by the Rotary Club of Southborough in honor of Earth Day.
