2023 Trash Cleanup

Community Service Hours for Trash Cleanup!

Please help us pick up trash around the Yarmouth Schools and get community service hours! The cleanup is on May 1st from 1-4 pm. Please register here.

Meet at YHS (West Elm Side)

Please bring (if possible):

• A pair of gloves (gardening gloves are best)

• Reusable/Washable Bag for picking up trash  (grocery bags work well)

• Sturdy close-toed shoes

• Kitchen tongs or grabber/reacher tools 

Globally it is estimated that 8 million pieces of plastic pollution EACH DAY find their way into our waterways and oceans. That's the same as one garbage truck of plastic dumped into the ocean every minute of every day! 

As a coastal community one way we can prevent trash from entering Casco Bay is by removing litter around school grounds, neighborhood streets and sidewalks to keep it out of storm drains. 

On Sunday May 1st from 1 - 4pm Yarmouth is asking all members of the community, young and old, to participate in its annual trash clean-up. If you are interested in participating in trash clean up specifically at YHS and YES, please complete the Google form here. If you would like to volunteer at another location in Yarmouth contact Gina Tansey (yarmouthroadsidecleanup@gmail.com or 207-460-3568)
