A group of six went out to clean up the Roanoke River and Wasena Park Saturday morning for Clean Valley Day.
We came across several articles of clothing, shoes, drug paraphernalia, and the usual - plastic bags, bottles, cans etc. Poor Crystal spent an hour on cigarette butts alone, and Aaron helped a man in a hover-round who was stuck in the mud, so good deeds were done all around. Despite our bags being stolen by a boy scout and having to end a little early (and, um, we were really upset about ending early....), it was a pretty successful morning, and definitely a much better activity to do with friends than to do alone!
Sorry, no actual pics from PLC - we had our hands full.
On the same note, on April 24th there is an e-waste recycling event at the Roanoke Civic Center from 8am-5pm, so make sure you bring your old, unusable, broken electronics and get rid of them the right way!
Thanks for the heads up on the e-waste day!
