Charlton’s annual clean-up will be held on Saturday April 28th, 2012 from 8 am to 12 noon. Our goal again this year is to clean the whole town! We’d like as many people as possible to give an hour or two and pick up trash. People may register for a road or section of a road they want to clean. Registration will be ongoing in the Senior Center beginning April 2nd or sign-up online here:
