VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED
FOR WEEKEND ROADSIDE CLEANUP

CARY, NC – Volunteers ages 15 and older are still needed to participate in a two-hour highway cleanup project Saturday morning, May 13^th. So far, the Town has received commitments from employees of SAS, Cary’s Martin Luther King Jr. Task Force, and youth from Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church, but much more help is needed.

"This is an important project for our community, and I’m pleased to be heading it up this year," said Cary Town Council member Jess Ward.

The cleanup will focus on roadside litter collection along two major corridors: HWY US1/64 from MacGregor up to the I-40 interchange and from the I-40 interchange along I-40 up to the Aviation Parkway exit. Collection will not include medians.

Volunteers should report to the Town of Cary’s Purchasing Center loading dock, 420 James Jackson Avenue, at 8:30 AM for litterbags and safety vests. No one under age 15 can participate. Call Mr. Ward at 685-8610 to volunteer!
