Clean Island Partners (CIP) invites the public to grab free trash bags from Island Heritage Trust and help clean up stretches of Route 15 and Sunset Road on June 23-25.

There are trash grabbers and bright orange T-shirts for sale at IHT (420 Sunset Road) to make the job easier and safer, according to a press release.

Some guidelines:

• take trash bags directly to their town’s transfer station
• avoid touching hypodermic needles and drug paraphernalia as well as bottles containing a milky substance, tubes of filters. These might be related to the manufacture of methamphetamine. Volunteers are asked to mark the location and contact the police.
• consider benefiting island projects with the returnables.
• avoid picking up tires, appliances, used oil, or household trash and instead contact town offices.
