#SacoME #EarthDay #Cleanup

Come Celebrate Earth Day in Saco!

April 24 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

"Registration is NOW OPEN!

Each year, the Saco Parks & Recreation Department offers an opportunity to bring the community together to clean up and prepare the local green spaces and parks for spring and summer! It is now more important than ever to focus on our green space, clean energy, eliminating waste, and becoming an eco-friendly community.

"#ecomaine is proud to be part of this year’s celebration! Stop by our table at the #SacoCommunityCenter at the start of the day to pick up #recycling resources, meet our education team, and learn about the sustainable waste programs available to Saco residents. At the end of the cleanup, we’ll be weighing the trash collected from parks, trails, and open spaces across the city so volunteers can see the real impact their community made together.

"Looking to get involved? Join your neighbors to volunteer in Saco and help clean up and prepare local parks for spring and summer. Duties include #TrashPickUp, #weeding, #mulching, raking, and more. This event is (light) rain or shine!

Dallas planned to kick alley trash service to the curb. Thousands of residents pushed back 🏡 🦝 🚮

Some trash picked treasure... hopefully 🤞

Saw this just sitting by some communal bins, and it looked like it had been there overnight.

No idea if it works, but it looks like there is a full system, although the case has no sides!

🗑️ Got bulky trash in St. Clair? It just got easier to curb it.

At the May 19 meeting, the City Council unanimously approved an addendum to their Waste Management agreement—making oversized item pickup more accessible for residents.

Another outing, another five gallons and then some. Today, I tried to clean as much of a small, local pond as I could reach. The pond is active with red eared sliders, geese and goslings, red winged black birds, mocking birds, and plenty of fish. Today also had a special guest by way of a heron.

#TrashPickup #Nature #Detrashed

Took my new, inexpensive grabber and five gallon bucket out to pick up trash at my favorite walking trail. Filled the bucket entirely on a two mile walk. Got thanked by a couple people for trying to make the spot better, and it honestly made me feel really happy.
