It was an overcast and blustery day in Glenwood Springs, but the bright orange vests of the Glenwood Springs Middle School staff spread along a 2-mile stretch on U.S. Highway 6 were impossible to miss. With trash bags in hand, they were steadily working their way through the debris and garbage that had been discarded alongside the highway, everything from flattened cardboard boxes to cigarette butts.
