An annual tradition

For over 40 years, the Bristol Lions Club coordinated this annual event. They named it after Elmer Tarr, who walked the Pemaquid Point Road for many years picking up trash, rain or shine. Since 2017, the group TarrNation – also named after Elmer Tarr – has managed the clean-up.

Bristol residents of all ages are invited to join TarrNation for a roadside cleanup on Saturday, April 27!

Register at Bristol Consolidated School or Granite Hall Store between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. (this helps ensure the widest coverage and avoid duplication.) TarrNation will provide trash bags and safety vests – as well as buckets and grabbers to those cleaning up areas with embankments.

Be safe! Please wear bright clothing and gloves, and bring a water bottle.

If you would like to clean up a section of road prior to cleanup day, please call 207-290-3077 any time after April 10 and let us know where you’ll be working, or we can help you select a section of road.
