Sustainable Grandview: Volunteers clean up litter from Scioto Bike Trail
ThisWeek group
A group of 28 volunteers picked up enough litter to fill 50 trash bags April 10 during a little pickup event hosted by the nonprofit Sustainable Grandview.
The volunteers met at the Scioto Bike Trail entrance on Grandview Avenue, near Interstate 670 and just south of the Sunoco gas station. The trail entrance is right by the exit ramp from 670, and a lot of people just toss trash out their window as they drive by, said Brian Will, one of the local residents who serves as an organizer for Sustainable Grandview.
People might be surprised at how much trash collects along the bike trail, Sustainable Grandview organizer Andy Leber said.
