Hunt Proclaims Week
For Litter Cleanup
Gov. Jim Hunt has pro
claimed a week this spring
and one this (all as "Clean Up
Litter Week in North
Carolina."
During the week of March
31-April 4 and Sept. 8-12, N.C.
Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) will implement a
concentrated effort to clean up
litter along highways across
the state.
At least three transportation
maintenance crews will be
assigned to each of North
Carolina's 100 counties to pick
up litter during both weeks.
In his proclamation, Gov.
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."
