Town Clean Up April 26, 2025; Pick up bags & gloves at the Transfer Station April 19
2025-04-26
2nd Annual Union Cleanup Day!
April 26th 2025 (Saturday)
We live in a beautiful town that offers rivers, streams, ponds, forests, fields and all types of wildlife. Let’s continue to help keep it beautiful. Last year we successfully cleaned up our roadsides together and helped to make Union clean! We need your help again! Our goal is to have as many town citizens as possible to help us clean up a section of road. We hope that you will participate and encourage your friends and neighbors to join in.
How to Participate:
1). Choose an area that you are willing to take responsibility for cleaning.
2). Email a note to CleanUpUnionCT@gmail.com with the following information:
Your Name
The area you are cleaning up (name of the road, give intersections or house numbers at each of ends)
3). On April 19th we will be at a booth at the transfer station between 8-12 handing out bags, gloves, and if warranted, a reflective vest. You can sign up there as well and choose your area to be cleaned.
If you cannot get to the transfer station, you can also pick up Bags and Gloves at the Library or Town Hall during normal business hours a week before the cleanup day.
4). On April 26th perform the cleanup. If you come across anything on the road or public land that is too large for you to manage, please let us know via email and we will ask the town to deal with it. Once your garbage bag is filled, please tie it and leave it on the side of the road. Town employees will be picking up the bags on Monday. (Please don’t leave your personal trash! And NO BULKY items)
5). After the cleanup, please send any comments, reports or photos that you want to share to CleanUpUnionCT@gmail.com . These photos will be published on the town website.
Thank you for participating in Union’s Second Annual Clean-up Day! Happy Earth Day!

Dear Friends,
On Sunday, April 27, 2025, we will be holding our annual “Strides for Scholars,” a 5K road race/walk from the Union Elementary School that will benefit the Union School Association Scholarship Foundation.
Since the first scholarship award in 1995, the Union School Association Scholarship Foundation (USASF) has been assisting Union School students attain higher education goals. To date, 66 scholarships have been awarded to graduating high school seniors who are pursuing post-secondary education and have participated in community service activities.
Mission: The goal of the Union School Association Scholarship Foundation, as part of the Union School Association, is to help provide access to higher education for Union students. As part of this mission, the USASF raises funds for student aid distribution and distributes awards on a fair and non-discriminatory basis.
To ensure the success of this event, we will rely in large part on the support of the business community. You can take part by encouraging participation from among your staff or displaying flyers. There are also sponsorship opportunities available. In exchange, we offer a variety of ways to promote your business, both to our participants and to the community at large. The deadline to be a sponsor is March 31, 2025.
We are excited about this race, and we know that we will enjoy a strong field of runners, walkers, and spectators. You are a local business that Union residents support and appreciate. We hope that you can join us in helping to make education happen for students. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Patty Geissler
