• Along the Railroad Tracks on North Main Street and Main Street
• Forestville Village and Along the Pequabuck River
• And Your Neighborhood!

Supplies will include garbage bags, gloves, Beautify Bristol litter kit, event day t-shirt, instructions, locations of trash pickup areas, and safety guidelines.
