Where:
Meet on Fairhaven Ave. where it meets Hwy 10 to get supplies and instructions
When:
Oct 5th, 5:30pm (weather permitting).
What is involved:
Our stretch of highway is Hwy 10 from the Clark County line on the west to County V on the east (~2 mi total). It works best if we have at least 8 people - 2 for each side of the road and we work towards the middle (Fairhaven Ave) so everyone walks about a mile. If we have more we can cut down the area each person needs to cover. Wear comfortable shoes, waterproof if possible. One person will stay closer to the road, the other will be closer to the ditch and we pick up any garbage or debris along the stretch. I will provide gloves, safety vests, and garbage bags. Children are welcome if parents judge they are mature enough to be safe near a busy roadway. The majority of the garbage is typically pop/beer cans, cups and fast food wrappers. With enough people it should take about 1.5 hours.
