If anyone wants to know a pickup location that may be in your neighborhood so you don’t have to drive to the Hannaford parking lot meeting place, please PM us. We don’t give out locations beforehand for various reasons. Thanks! Hope to see you tomorrow! Let’s do this! Who will find the weirdest, grossest thing? It’s always an adventure!! 😆

This Saturday the 16th we’re planning our next cleanup! We’re fighting a battle with fast-growing roadside brush and our “favorite” plant -poison ivy 😩, so we’ve got to hit a few spots before it gets too bad. We’ll meet at the Hannaford parking lot at 845 and head to our spot. Bring water, and bug spray is a must! Let’s do this!

Edit: I guess we’re heading out for the 25th, the Saturday after Earth Day, not the 18th. Sorry for any confusion; hope you can join us!

We’re gearing up for this season of picking up Middleborough’s trashiest spots! We have our new “workers ahead” signs, because safety first!! Since this month was cold and flew by, we’re going to aim for April 18, the Saturday before Earth Day as a start date. Let us know of a trash-filled spot you’ve seen on your travels, and we’ll take a crew there! Middleborough is so huge, Colleen and I only see a little bit of it, and might be unaware of a backroads bonanza of rubbish. 😳😳 As usual and to make things fun, we’re excited to see what outlandish or gross items we may come across. Join us if you can! 🤗

Unfortunately, balloons do not go to heaven. These two rested high up in a tree, where birds can get tangled in the lines. Not to mention how unsightly it is to come around a bend in the trail and see this shiny mess in the trees. 🫤

Our group’s founder Melissa Guimont is moving up north. We wish her the best of luck and thank her for all her years of service to the town! We will miss her. Thank you, Melissa!! 🤗🤗

And as she always says “Remember, the trash won’t pick itself up!” ♻️ 🚮 💪💪👊🏻
