After a brief safety meeting, we will break up into groups to clean up around the Village, around GHS and Municipal Center grounds and parking lots, New Portland Road and South Street. Maps below show the areas we will cover and where trash bags can be left. (Please note: all trash bags eventually need to get back to the Municipal Center and we should NOT put any trash in private trash cans or dumpsters.)
