How
can you participate? The
Darke County Trash Bash is scheduled for
April 20 & 21, 2013, rain or shine.
The collection is set to begin at 8:00
a.m. The district
is looking for numerous groups
of 4 to “pound the pavement” at their assigned 2-mile locations
picking-up bags
of trash and recyclables. Clean-up
groups can be started with friends from school, work, church, and
volunteer
organizations or clubs and there’s no age limit for volunteers. Call the district at
937-547-0827 to find out
how to register your clean-up group or to offer in-kind support. Sign-up forms can also be
found on the
district’s website:
www.co.darke.oh.us/solidwaste .
Forms must be turned in by March 15, 2013.
Each
group will be given black bags for trash
and clear bags for recyclables. For
separating the recyclables from the trash, each group will be awarded
$40.00
for participating. Awards
will be given
to Darke County non-profit organizations only.
There is no limit to the number of
groups that an organization can
enter. County
highway employees will
follow assigned routes and will pick-up bags left on the targeted
collection
roads on April 22, 2013.
