For the Community Cleanup with Jayco Disposal and Allen Realty Group we’re providing special garbage bags for trash and Clynk recycling. Bring your gloves and trash pickers and come join us to do a clean up of South Berwick. Once you’re done, you just need to bring your bag to the designated dumpster next to Shoetown Playground on Norton Street in South Berwick. Join us on April 26th and grab your special trash bag. We’ll also be handing out bags on April 19th at the York Woods Tree & Products Spring Festival.
