Darke County Sheriff’s Office...
Motorists Need
to be Alert on the Roadways
Trash Bash April 21 & 22
Darke County Sheriff Toby L. Spencer and the Darke County Solid Waste
Management District Director Krista Fourman would like to advise
motorists to use caution while traveling Darke County roadways in the
upcoming weekend.
On April 21st and April 22nd Darke County Solid Waste Management
District will be holding its 5th Annual Trash Bash. Over 1100
volunteers and organizations will be cleaning up 600 miles of Darke
County and Township roads. These volunteers will be walking along
roadways and picking up trash. The volunteer’s vehicles will be
parked along or near the roads where the trash pick up is
occurring. Participants should be wearing safety colored shirts
to increase visibility. Trash pick up is scheduled to occur from
dawn to dusk on Saturday and Sunday April 21st and 22nd.
Motorists are advised to slow down and pay attention to volunteers
working near the roadway. As always you should not engage in
distracted driving while operating a vehicle and keep your attention
focused on driving your vehicle. Practice defensive driving
techniques by looking ahead and being prepared for any problems that
may occur.
Darke County deputies will be patrolling Darke County roadways and
enforcing traffic laws. Always wear your seat belt and take the
time to look both ways at intersections. Lets all work together
to make Darke County roadways safe for volunteers and other motorists,
pedestrians and cyclists.
