Amherst Clean Up Days Results - see the slideshow below

April 26th - April 27th

The weather was not the greatest but our Amherst Volunteers were! Over the Amherst Clean Up Days we had several groups out and about picking up trash along our roads.  The results were not as great as our previous years but every piece picked up is a win.

This year we had eight dedicated groups who were targeting specific areas.  Although picking up trash is not fun we did have some funny items found amongst the high volume of beer cans and cigarette butts.  Some of the weird items were, a broken stone head design, a rear bumper, a rearview mirror, traffic cone, car mats, a popped ball, 3 old gas tanks, underwear, and a large unopened bag of Oreos!

Amongst our groups we had over 40 participants who collected over 55 bags of trash. Thank you to all of our groups and all other Amherst residents who ventured out to pick up trash.
