Grafton Clean Up Day

In celebration of Earth Day, teams of volunteers are being organized to clean up the trash along the streets, in neighborhoods, on the school playgrounds, and in parks throughout Grafton. You, your family, and friends can be a part of this Town-wide effort, which is sponsored by the Grafton Garden Club, a non-profit 501(c)(3).

It’s easy. Contact chair-person Helen Blazis at markblazissafaris@gmail.com and let her know which area of town you would like to clean up. Then go to the Grafton Highway Department (DPW), at 64 Old Westborough Road to pick up the yellow bags you use and a sheet of instructions. These are available at the DPW from April 15 through 19, 2024. Or you can get bags, gloves, and the instruction sheet on the Grafton Common on Saturday, April 20, 2024 from 9:00 to noon.

You can pick up the trash any time during the week of April 15-20, 2024. Just contact the DPW at 508-839-8525 and let them know where you have left your filled bags. It’s that simple.

Everyone who helps with Grafton Clean-up Day is invited to stop by the Common on Saturday, April 20, 2024 from 9 am to noon. You can get your bags and gloves and there is free coffee and doughnuts provided by Grafton UniBank. Bottled Water is provided by Savers Bank. Each volunteer receives a coupon redeemable for a pizza or sandwich at Pepperoni Express and a coupon for Swirls & Scoops where you get a soft serve, child size cone. Both coupons may be redeemed only on April 20, 2024.

The Grafton Department of Public Works is providing free red oak and white dogwood saplings for Grafton residents to plant. The trees are available at the Common on April 20, 2024 from 9am until noon.

This is the Grafton Garden Club’s 18th year of sponsoring Grafton Clean-up Day. Let’s think globally and act locally as we Keep Grafton Green!
