Please contact Lucy at lfg1@cornell.edu  to claim a section of road before the event so we don’t have too many people cleaning the same area.  We can also assign a road section to you. 

Black trash bags will be available for pick up at 53 White Church Rd front porch. There are a limited number of garbage grabbers available also.  Please contact Lucy if you would like to borrow some.
 
For your safety and the safety of others, while cleaning up along the roads please dress in bright colors and walk facing traffic.  Don’t pick up anything that looks hazardous/dangerous.   If you find large pieces of trash please try to transport it to the Highway department at 852 Valley Rd.
 
April 25 – April 30 is also the week of the Town Highway Dept junk clean up. The Highway Dept will be open Mon - Thurs 6:30 am – 4 pm, Friday 7 am – 2 pm, and Saturday 7 am – noon.
You can bring the roadside trash you collected to the Highway Dept during these hours for disposal.
