Hunt said: Whereas, littered roadsides continue to spoil North Carolina's scenic beauty ; and Whereas, the state of North Carolina spends approximate ly $1.5 million annually for roadside litter control and the problem continues to persist; and... Whereas, it is felt that the traveling public will be more conscientious in helping to keep highways litter free once an area is cleaned -up; ... Therefore, I proclaim the weeks of March 31-April 4 and Sept. 8-12 as Clean Up Litter Weeks in North Carolina and commend this observance to our citizens. Secretary of Transportation Tom Bradshaw, in coor dinating the spring clean up litter campaign, has contacted city and county officials and other interested organizations which will join the department in its efforts. Secretary Bradshaw com mented, "We feel it will take the combined effort of volunteer organizations and all levels of government to ef fectively reduce Utter on our streets and highways. "We know from past ex perience that by working together we can accomplish just about anything we focus our combined energies upon," he said. More than 300 transporta tion maintenance crews pick ed up some 65,000 bags or 9,000 cubic yards of litter from 5,000 miles of state highway. Bradshaw said, "The cam paign was an overwhelming success due in part to the ap proximately BO outside organizations whiqh con tributed their time toward the program." Next week NCDOT will sup ply large litter bags and pick up service at designated points. Also, safety signing will be provided in areas where workers are picking up litter. Bradshaw added, "We are encouraging the motoring public to be especially wat chful for crews and volunteers along the highways during the campaign."
