My wife and I adopted the stretch of rural road that runs by our farm in Fluvanna County. We start at the Goochland county line to the east and go to the Louisa county line to the west. Pretty strange the things people toss out of their car. And it’s amazing how “regular” some people are with their litter.

Laurel Bauersachs, a middle student at Tomahawk, organised a weekly clean up for the Charter Colony Subdivision.
Starting in 2012 I have been collecting Roadside litter from a section of route 608 in Greensville County VA near the Boars Head Plant. In Dec 2015 I asked Linwood Pope to facilitate VDOT installing no litter signs on roadside in front of my two properties-completed. I asked VA to installed adopt a highway signs along same stretch completed. I have been collecting Roadside litter solo along this Stretch since 2012. I purchased a 16 acre farm there in 2011 and hauled out 5 pickup loads of litter before rehabilitation of the property by planting 10k pine seedlings. THE 9 BAGS IN THIS PIC ARE FROM 4 hours OF SOLO ROADSIDE LITTER COLLECTION in that hihway stretch on Dec 3, 2016. People have told me this is a joke less effort. I disagree. One person taking action can make changes happen. I say lead by action to make our roadsides pristine!

10 more bags of roadside litter collected from half mile stretch of route 608 in Greensville County. This is part of 2 mile location I adopted in 2016 adjacent to Boars Head plant. In two half days this month I collected 19 VDOT size bags of roadside litter. I want to get the word out that Roadside litter is no different from littearing ones own favorite vacation spot.
Little six-year-old Avery Callas, daughter of Noelle and Luke Callas, of Frederick County, hates litter. She decided on her own to do something about it by picking up litter wherever she finds it, like in her community’s common areas.
A neighbor, Lyndon Henry, noticed trash accumulating next to the fence to Somerset Glen Apartments and took it upon himself to be a good neighbor and clean it up. Thanks Lyndon!
