Safety first! Please take care when picking up the roads.   Use gloves to protect yourself from sharp objects.  Wear bright clothing or a safety vest so drivers can see you easily.  You may want to set up cones to caution drivers in higher speed areas.  Never open containers of unknown substances.  Contact the Police to dispose of any needles or syringes – do not touch or place in bags with other refuse.

We have some great incentives from our sponsors:
