City of Roanoke to Collaborate With Developer To Transform Former American Viscose Property

Southeast Roanoke plawkers capture trash, neighborhood spirit

Volunteers with orange trash bags who want to rid southeast Roanoke of litter illustrate a brand of civic mindedness worth special recognition, according to city leaders. Councilman Bill Bestpitch said the volunteers didn’t call or email the mayor, council members or city officials to report litter. They picked it up themselves. Known as the Southeast Plawkers, they reported filling 78 bags during 32 outings last year. On Monday, the group bagged the city of Roanoke’s Neighborhood Improvement Award for 2021. The award recognizes a project or activity that improves or protects the quality of life in a community. “Plawking” is picking up litter while walking. If you jog and grab litter, it’s plogging. Neither word appears in the online version of the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, but the practice has become a thing.
