The Town of Thompson and Village of Monticello are on a mission to reduce roadside trash and they’re calling on the public to help. Everyone is invited to join in a community litter pluck on April 30th from 9am until noon, which will take place along Dillon Road. Please meet at Dillon Park at 9am – 150 Dillon Road in Monticello – and we will begin the pluck from there.
Garbage bags will be provided and volunteers can simply leave the bags for the Town and Village to pick up after littler plucking. Please wear comfortable, sturdy shoes and brightly colored clothing. In case of inclement weather, the pluck will be held on May 7th from 9am until noon.
Joining the litter pluck is also a chance for people to discover what it’s like to adopt a road. The Town Adopt-a-Road program is officially underway. Individuals, groups of people, businesses, and other organizations can adopt a road for free. Once adopted, the road should be litter plucked a few times a year. The Town then provides a custom sign on the road that announces which group has adopted it. Roads are adopted in stretches that are no longer than 2 miles. For details about Adopt-a-Road or questions about the litter pluck, please contact:
