The Millis Lions Club and Millis DPW will be sponsoring its 20th annual Don Reynolds Millis Beautification Day clean up Sat., April 12, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, meeting at Millis Town Hall to register and grab your supplies, assignment and info. All ages are making an impact with this ongoing problem. 

We had a great turnout last year and we hope for the same this year. 

So many Millis “pluggers” (picking up trash on walks and runs) are making a visible difference on our roadways, parks, and schools daily. Millis Garden Club and Millis High School Environmental Club regularly help. 

A great way to meet people through scheduled cleanups all over New England is Keep Mass. Beautiful which can be found online at www.keepmassbeautiful.org. Mass Improvement, Harrison McPhee, and CJW Landscaping are local businesses that continually volunteer muscle and expertise. We welcome local businesses to join us; for more information, contact [email protected]. 

Litter is illegal. it’s a $100 fine. It’s collecting along our roadways where a litterer thinks no one will see them. But for volunteers picking up after them, it’s frustrating and sad. It’s a complicated issue, we must not be complicit, It impacts our environment and how people perceive the places we live.
