On
April 3, 2004, in spite of a wintry mix of weather, volunteers
removed 2.5 tons of trash from a site located in Prince Gallitzin
State Park, Cambria County, off of Fiske Road in White Township.
Articles illegally dumped in the area included vehicle parts,
appliances, and household trash. The group also removed litter
from along a section of Fiske Road.
Members
of the Cambria County Chapter of PA CleanWays and local residents
donated a total of 13.5 hours to the project.
Contracted
and donated services were provided by Roll Off Container Services
of Osterburg for hauling, Laurel Highlands Landfill of Johnstown
for disposal, Sharon's Pizza Palace of Fallentimber for lunch
for the volunteers, and Chem-Handling Specialists of Ligonier
for testing and proper disposal of used motor oil.
