LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) - Volunteers spread out across Lawton Saturday to participate in the City of Lawtonâs annual Trash Off, cleaning litter from fields, parks and creeks.
The Great 580 Association partnered with youth group members from Lawton First Assembly to pick up trash at the McMahon Dog Park on 38th.
Great 580 President Jeff Elbert said even though there were trash cans at the park, the ground was still covered in litter.
âThe negative connotation of the shady 580 is only begetted by a trashy place,â he said. âWe can actually change that to great when we throw our trash away where itâs supposed to be thrown away and if we see trash on the ground, weâre able to get that off the ground. We need to be able to do that. Keep it beautiful because this is our home.â
