In partnership with community volunteers, organized by Mark Berger, and the Town of Waldoboro

Let’s care for our town—together. Join neighbors, friends, and volunteers for a day of community action and connection, as we come together to make Waldoboro more beautiful—for those who live here, for those just passing through, and for future generations.

(In anticipation of our future series exploring how we feel about waste—what we throw away, what we neglect, what we can save, and what that says about how we see ourselves, our places, and each other.)

Morning Clean-Up (8 AM–12 PM)

Start at the Town Landing on Pine Street

• Pick up supplies: Trash grabbers, plenty of high-visibility vests, and contractor bags will be ready

• Clean up roadsides, sidewalks, and neglected spots that need some love

• Drop off filled bags at the Waldoboro Public Works Garage (1660 Wagner Bridge Rd.), where the town will provide dump trucks for collected trash

• Return any unused materials at the same location

• Found large items (appliances, furniture, etc.)? Contact us and we’ll help haul them

Community Potluck Cookout at the Custom House (4 pm - evening)

After the clean-up, come celebrate your efforts and connect with others at a casual, open-to-all potluck cookout.

• Bring something to grill or a dish to share

• Bring your own drink and chair—if you want; we have picnic tables and chairs inside and out

• Let’s meet, talk, laugh, and imagine new ways to care for—and reanimate—our shared spaces
