About the Roadside Cleanup:

In 2010, more than 300 volunteers participated in Friends of Acadia's 10th
annual Earth Day Roadside Cleanup. The volunteers picked up over 650 bags of
trash, plus an assortment of other “junk” from over 100 miles of roadsides.
The event has become, for many people, an annual rite of spring.

You can celebrate Earth Day—all year long—by keeping our roadsides
trash-free. Please dispose of your garbage appropriately. Recycle and
compost whatever you can, and place the remainder in trash cans or
dumpsters. Or, you can walk out the front door of your home or business
towards the next street or even the next driveway—trash bag in tow—and hold
your own pick-up. We all have the power to make a difference in our
communities.



For more information on the event or to register for areas outside of
Ellsworth, contact Terry Begley at 207-288-3340 or terry at friendsofacadia.org
