Fall Clean-Up Day

By Laurie Searle | Nov 1, 2008

The clean-up day on Nov. 1 was a big success thanks to the many volunteers who participated. While we had a smaller crowd turn out than our spring clean-up day, the volunteers covered nearly as many miles and picked up almost as many bags of trash as before.

Rico Rd didn't need serving this time, according to Adopt-a-Mile chair Molcie Trimble, because volunteers had been diligent about keeping that road clean. "This gave us a chance to focus on Campbellton Redwine, from Hutcheson Ferry to the South Fulton Parkway," Molcie said. In that area alone, volunteers picked up nearly 50 bags of trash.  

Here are the results of the Nov. 1 clean-up day as compared to the clean-up day earlier this spring:
