The fall Litter Sweep begins this Saturday (Sept. 14.)
The N.C. Department of Transportation needs volunteers to clear roadside litter and help keep North Carolina’s roadsides beautiful. NCDOT county maintenance offices will provide volunteers with gloves, safety vests and bags.
Every spring and fall, North Carolina communities come together for the NCDOT Litter Sweep, making a visible difference in our environment. Starting Saturday, volunteers will once again hit the roads to help protect our landscapes and keep North Carolina safe and clean.
“We’re excited to see volunteers out there throughout the entire sweep,” said David Harris, NCDOT’s Roadside environmental engineer. “Their hard work ensures our roadsides stay clean and welcoming for everyone. We’re grateful for their dedication.”
NCDOT’s maintenance crews and other staff will also dedicate the week to removing roadside debris and collecting the bags filled by volunteers.
Litter Sweep runs Sept. 14-28. Contact the Columbus County Maintenance Office for more information, or go to the Litter Sweep webpage.
