Time To Sign Up! Madison's Green Up, Clean Up Scheduled For April 16

The town's annual Green Up, Clean Up Day will be April 16 from 8 a.m. to noon.

Participants should register with the town's Beach & Recreation Department by calling 203-245-5623.

Check-in will be at Memorial Town Hall, 8 Meetinghouse Lane, in the south end of town, and Roberts Food Center in the North Madison shopping center. Supplied will be available including bags, gloves, and safety vests for children. Any litter that is collected can be returned to dumpsters that will be available afterward at Memorial Town Hall and Roberts, along with cool drinks for participants.

According to the Beach & Recreation Department, a wide range of civic groups generally attend with about 400 to 500 people participating in past Green Up Clean Up Days.

Laura Bazenas, the den leader for Cub Scout Trooop 495 in North Madison, says she plans to have her den of about nine boys participate. "We'll probably do the beach, and then they can play afterwards," she said. "It's a great way for them to work towards a badge, and get involved in the community."
