A crew of volunteers for the PLIA did more than just talk trash – they removed it from a stretch of highway along Route 156 on Saturday morning, April 5. Our local police department provided an assist by sending out two notices advising motorists to be on the alert for these volunteers and to drive with caution.
As these photos illustrate, workers showed up in force with great can-do attitudes, and in no time they had cleared many bags of litter thrown onto the roadside over the winter. Just look at their haul!
The PLIA organizes three such events every year, so if you missed this one, there will be another this summer – look for announcements. Removing trash from the environment prevents motor oil, battery fluid, tires, and other pollutants from entering our watershed. We love our town and want to keep it “Clean and Scenic”!
