56th Green Up Day draws about 150 volunteers; town collects roughly 5,600 pounds of trash
Summary
Organizers reported about 150 volunteers participated in Ludlow’s 56th Green Up Day on May 2, removing a little over 5,600 pounds of trash, including more than 14 tires and roughly 500 bags of roadside debris.
Director Nick Miele told the committee that about 150 community members participated in the 56th Green Up Day on May 2. Volunteers collected a little over 5,600 pounds of trash—about 1,600 pounds more than the yearly average—and recovered more than 14 tires and roughly 500 bags of roadside trash.
Miele listed in-kind donations and sponsorships that supported the event: breakfast items from New England Cider Doughnuts, granola bars and water from Shaws, T-shirts sponsored by Clear Choice Pools and Spas and Diamond Realty, and participation from William Raveis, Okemo, Divided Sky, Diamond Realty, and The Lake Rescue Association. A volunteer BBQ followed the cleanup; turnout at the BBQ was lower because of a rainstorm.
