International Coastal Cleanup and the KCA Adopt-A-Road, September 20, 2008
KCA hit the streets again Saturday morning, September 20, to do our part for the International Coastal Clean-up and the Gunn Highway Adopt-A-Road. A yearly high of 27 faithful volunteers braved the heat and tall grass and scoured KCA’s adopted section of Gunn Highway – Van Dyke Road to Tarpon Springs Road (1.5 miles), along with Gunn Highway south to Miles Road (1/2 mile), Van Dyke from Gunn Highway east to Brown Road (1/2 mile), Tarpon Springs Road from Gunn Highway west to Blake Road (1/2 mile), and Wayne Road from Gunn Highway west 1/2 mile – a total of 3.5 miles!
An estimated 1,400 pounds of trash was collected, along with metal and plastic pipe, wire, scrap lumber, fence posts, hub caps, snipe signs, trash can lids, and other miscellaneous items.
The “treasures“ of the day included a valid AARP card, tools, utility company supplies, baseball caps, sports balls, and a garage door opener (the winning entry in the “Treasures or Trash” contest)! Complementary T-Shirts were provided to the participants by Keep Hillsborough County Beautiful, Inc.
Thanks to all the volunteers and keep an eye out for notice of the next clean-up, scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2009.
