Our planet is an amazing place, but it needs our help to thrive! That’s why each year on April 22, more than a billion people celebrate Earth Day to protect the planet.
This year the town has designed two ways to participate in the effort to keep Upton clean and green! Volunteers can either attend our Kick-off Event on April 20th between 9:00 am - 12:30 pm at the VFW to pick-up supplies OR pick-up purple bags April 20th through May 3rd at the Upton Town Hall, Community Center or Soul Fuel Cafe. For more information, see details below.
