Today, we took advantage of beautiful 50 degree weather and cleaned up around the bike path and forest preserve on North Avenue.
In just about an hour we collected 54 pounds of litter! It was sad to see how concentrated the litter was in such a small strip of land. There were many takeout containers from nearby fast food restaurants and some of the most notable pieces of trash we picked up were a piece of a tire and a car’s back bumper. We got many honks of support from cars passing by…it was nice to see that the community appreciates our hard work!
What a great idea to clean before the Super Bowl. You all did an outstanding job! Thank you all!
