A
total of 17 volunteers, including students from Bethesda Day
Treatment Center, worked a combined 51 hours to remove almost
a ton of household trash, furniture and car parts from a steep
slope leading down to Upper Pine Bottom Run. A roadside cleanup
was also done at three pull offs along Route 44, leading up
to Little Pine State Park.
This site had
been a major dumping area for many years," Tiadaghton Service
Forester Jason Smith said. "We removed a large quantity
of trash and anticipate the site to remain clear."
PA CleanWays,
Inc. and PA CleanWays of Clinton County organized the November
13, 2004, cleanup in conjunction with the Department of Conservation
and Natural Resources. Volunteers met at the DCNR Waterville
Maintenance shop and, after a safety talk, were transported
to the site. The volunteers bagged and piled the trash and then,
by human chain, lifted the trash up the hill to the rolloff,
supplied by Love Disposal.
