Valley Pride/ Clean up Day - 20th Year Litter Cleanup 

It feels like we are in the zone of the unknown, living a day by day, wait and see existence. This obviously makes it impossible to plan any event in the forseeable future. We all must do the right thing for the greater good of ourselves, our families and our communities right now and that is why Valley Pride Day 2020 has been redesigned.

It is unfortunate that we will not be able to gather at the Hampton Inn on May 2nd to celebrate our 20th anniversary but our hope is that we get through this isolation period soon and we can have our celebration at a later date this summer or fall. 

-- We are simply making bags available for those who wish to participate. We are not suggesting that anyone step outside their own comfort levels or the safety guidelines of the authorities.

--We ask that you use common sense and practice all the precautions set forth.  If you decide to pick up litter in your area please wear appropriate clothing, bright colors or safety vests, masks, and gloves.

--Also keep your distance from others, carry sanitizer and wipes, and shower and wash clothing when you return home.

For  Jackson, Glen, Bartlett residents to arrange the pickup of bags contact: 

Gloria Hutchings: Tel: 383-4223-ext 103 or email deptctc@jackson-nh.org

Blue bags for trash pick up will be left in bundles of 3 outside the back door of the Jackson Town Hall with your name on them. If you need more bags, please specify how many you need. If you wish to tell me where you are planning on picking up trash that is helpful to avoid redundancy.

  There are no gloves available this year because of the high demand and need for our emergency services and hospitals so please bring your own. 

Please DO NOT leave bags beside the road. Since we don't have a specific event day this year we will not have roadside pickup so please carry your bags to your local transfer stations. Be sure you have a Transfer Station Sticker!!

It’s not business as usual for anyone, including Valley Pride Day however New Englanders know how to find a way to get things done. With time on our hands and a need for fresh air and activities why not pick up trash? This could be our strongest and cleanest year as we fight the battle against litter and benefit our valley. Working together is something we know how to do and we do it well!   #valleystrong   #togetherwecan  

First and foremost please be safe, stay aware, and honor the changing safety guidelines put forth by the local, state, and federal authorities.
