Powers Ferry Corridor Alliance is pleased to announce that a group of 19 community volunteers picked up 380 pounds of trash at the group’s Adopt-A-Mile Fall event in conjunction with Keep Cobb Beautiful on Saturday, Oct. 5.
Wearing bright yellow vests, the participants gathered everything from illegal stick signs to general roadside litter into 55 orange trash bags along Powers Ferry Road from Terrell Mill Road to Wildwood Parkway. Keep Cobb Beautiful also sponsored a pop-up recycle drop-off station in conjunction with the event at the Kroger Fuel parking lot on Powers Ferry, collecting 38 Hefty bags of renewable items, 300 pounds of glass and 40 pounds of general recyclable material from 41 residents.
“It’s amazing to see local residents and business leaders join forces to keep our community clean and vibrant,” said Kedrick Green, PFCA’s Adopt-A-Mile coordinator. “The PFCA strives to create opportunities for volunteers to give back and also be a part of a bigger initiative.”
Area neighborhoods and organizations represented included Riverwalk at Wildwood, Riverstone at Wildwood, Girl Scouts, Valencia Hills, Terrell Mill Estates, Hyde Park, Flats at Riverwalk, Lassiter High School, Stratford Grove and Wynne’s Ridge Condominiums.
Volunteers enjoyed complimentary refreshments provided by Kroger. The event was additionally supported by Take 5 Oil Change, Custom Signs Today and cheered on by the firefighters at Cobb County Fire Station 19. Keep Cobb Beautiful’s Adopt-A-Mile program is a partnership that allows individuals and/or groups to improve the appearance of our community. Learn more: powersferryca.com.
