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.
The town has designed two ways to participate in the effort to keep Upton clean and green! Volunteers can visit the Upton Common on April 21, 2025 from 8:30 am through 11:30 am at the Town Common to pick up supplies OR pick up the Earth Day purple bags from April 21 through May 5 at the Upton Town Hall & Upton Town Library - for more information, see details below.
Friday and Saturday, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
