Green Up Vermont

The Green Up Bags are expected to arrive in Montpelier by April 18th at Central Garage, AOT (Agency of Transportation). We expect the 9 AOT Districts to then be getting their bags the week of April 21. Then according to each of their schedules, they will deliver bags out to towns, mostly to town clerk offices. In Chittenden and Addison counties bags go to the Solid Waste District and towns go there to get their bags.

If you have still not received your bags by April 29/30, you can call your District Garage to find out what is happening with your town's bags.

Vermont's Green Up Day began in 1970 when 70,000 Vermonters joined forces around the state to clean up roadside litter that had accumulated during the winter months. After 37 years, the Green Up legacy continues to foster the stewardship of the Vermont landscape. It's about far more than picking up highway litter and cleaning up public parks. Green Up Day is about people of all ages from all walks of life joining together in community spirit to take care of Vermont. It teaches our children pride and respect.

Today, the Green Up tradition continues to grow thanks to the not-for-profit organization Green Up Vermont. Over 40,000 bags of trash are collected annually with the help of over 250 volunteer coordinators and co-coordinators and over 15,000 participants.

The continued success of Vermont's Green Up also depends on financial support. Green Up Vermont is funded primarily by private donations from individuals and businesses, with some support from the state and towns. Your contribution will help keep Green Up growing for Vermont.
