For the entire month of May, the Town of Readfield invites you to help keep your road and community clean of trash and debris!  Volunteers who are interested are encouraged to adopt a road and clean it up at their own pace. We will also be getting together at the Fairgrounds as we have in years past to make a big push on May 14th, starting at 8:00am and running until noon.  Snacks and drinks will be provided!  

However you want to participate, we are using a tool called “Signup Genius” to help us coordinate this effort.  Using the online signup sheet, you and your band of helpers can signup to clean your roadside areas and others!

Trash bags, debris grabbers, and other supplies will be available at the Transfer Station throughout the month of May and at the Fairgrounds on May 14th.  Saturdays are designated as drop-off and pick-up days at the Transfer Station.  We provide the tools, and you provide a valuable help to the entire town!

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.  Tick and mosquito repellents are also recommended.

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 our Maintenance Staff.

Volunteers are encouraged to share pictures on Facebook and other social media, and send them to Select Board Chair Dennis Price so we can share them too!

Readfield Clean Up May is dedicated to late Select Board member and friend of Readfield, John Parent. Help continue his legacy of responsible citizenship by signing up for your road (or others) and being a part of this great community effort.  For more information, visit the town website or call the Town Office, 685-4939.  Please pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested in helping out with the cleanup, and thank you in advance!
