Green Up Day is right around the corner! Let’s work together to keep our town sparkling. You can swing by the Town Office or Library to grab your green bags now.

While our members will be out picking up bags, it’s a huge help if you can drop yours off directly at NWSWD on your way home. Just make sure to get there before they close at 1:00 PM on May 2nd. See you out there!
