Hollis schedules town roadside cleanup for April 11; commission to coordinate volunteers
Summary
The Hollis House Conservation Commission set the annual town roadside cleanup for April 11, tasked Karen with coordinating pickup with Brewer Landscaping, and asked Ben to contact high‑school volunteers; members discussed drop‑off logistics and collection points.
The Hollis House Conservation Commission set its annual town roadside cleanup for April 11 during its March 4 meeting.
Commissioners discussed alternative dates and logistics before confirming April 11 after consulting volunteer organizer Judy. Chair (speaker 1) asked Karen to contact Brewer Landscaping to coordinate pickup and asked Ben to reach out to high‑school volunteer groups to staff sections of the town.
Members discussed avoiding heavy-traffic roadways for student volunteers, suggested staging collection points (Central Hollis, South Hollis, North Hollis) to consolidate blue-bag drop‑offs, and planned to ask Joan and the transfer station about acceptance and timing. The commission confirmed the goal of picking up all bags the same day rather than leaving them at roadsides.
Commissioners also discussed partnering with existing volunteer teams to avoid schedule conflicts and considered using trailers and collection points to reduce bags left at the roadside. Volunteers and town staff will finalize pickup logistics and public communication before the event.
The commission asked members to follow up with Judy and Brewer Landscaping and to produce a flyer or Facebook announcement once logistics are confirmed.
