GET READY FOR 2011!

Townwide Cleanup
Chelmsford Town Common
Saturday, April 23rd

Mark your calendars now for the townwide cleanup in 2011!
Our goal is a clean town. You can pick up trash and recyclables at any time that is convenient for you or your group. The cleaning will be throughout Chelmsford including our roads, sidewalks, parks and trails. Most people will clean the roads closest to their homes. The filled bags of trash can be put out along with your own household garbage. For more information, contact davisong@comcast.net.

For more information, view the Town Cleanup Flyer.
