2020 Readfield Roadside Cleanup

Readfield Roadside Cleanup 2020 Is Still Happening!

This year, we are honoring the longtime organizer and leader of our annual cleanup efforts, John Parent, who passed away in April. We are dedicating this year’s cleanup to John with much appreciation for his service to our community.  

Due to the current pandemic, we need to change the way we clean-up our roads for John.

First, the cleanup will span the entire month of May, with Saturdays designated as drop-off and pick-up days at the Transfer Station. Volunteers who are interested are encouraged to adopt a road and clean it up at their own pace. We are using a tool called “Signup Genius” to help us coordinate this effort, online. This is a safe, trusted service. To choose which road(s) you want to volunteer to clean visit the following website: www.signupgenius.com/go/9040b44aaa623aaff2-2020.

Cleanup bags, debris grabbers, and other supplies will be available at the Transfer Station - just ask an attendant for help.

We want you to be safe, so we ask that you wear comfortable and appropriate Maine spring clothing, gloves, and BRIGHT COLORS (either yellow or orange safety clothing) so motorists can clearly see you. Volunteers are encouraged to use appropriate social distancing (6 feet) when working together.

Bagged waste can be brought to the Transfer Station any open day in May. Just let the attendant know that you are bringing in waste from the cleanup. If you find items that won’t fit in a bag, are too bulky, or require a fee at the transfer station (tires etc) please contact the Town Office and they will arrange for them to be picked up.  You can do so by calling 207-685-4939.or emailing Info@ReadfieldMaine.org.

Volunteers are encouraged to share pictures on Facebook and other social media, and send them to DPrice@ReadfieldMaine.org so we can share them too!

Please pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested in helping out with the cleanup, and thank you in advance for volunteering for Readfield. Even though we are volunteering apart, we are still
