Sponsor-A-Site
Dan
Palmer, District Director for the Lawrence-Scioto County
Solid Waste Management District has developed a positive
program called Sponsor A Site. The program is to be offered
to any business, church, civic group or scout group, etc
within Lawrence or Scioto County. The program kicked off
August 2, 2006; the first area to be sponsored was the area
between Molton Field and the Storms Creek Apartments on
Lawrence Street in Ironton. The area was adopted by the
Ironton-Lawrence County CAO. The first cleanup was a huge
success; the group collected 39 bags of trash and debris,
a shopping cart, roofing shingles, scrap ply wood, 2 passenger
tires, a baby stroller, 2 gas tanks, a wooden door, and
a recliner. The group will meet the last Tuesday of every
month for cleanup.
The
District has decided to help any organization willing to
take on this project in their desired area of either county..
The District will provide garbage bags, and gloves for the
clean up. The group must commit to clean up the area once
per month or as needed. For more information contact the
SWMD office at 740-532-1231 between the hours of 8 am -
4:30 pm.
The
Lawrence-Scioto Solid Waste Management District is available
to help coordinate this event in either county. The program
is available for any group (civic, church, etc.) interested
in the initial clean up, and monthly (or as needed) upkeep
of the designated area.
