Volunteers sought for River Road cleanup project
Volunteers are needed from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday for a cleanup of River Road in Linthicum.
Local residents organized the cleanup along the Patapsco River, near Patapsco State Park, after the two-lane, wooded road became a dumping ground.
The two-mile road is littered with dozens of discarded tires and piles of trash, old couches and armchairs, rolls of carpet, a baby stroller, a barbecue grill, rusted appliances, even a toilet. Residents have seen junked cars, dishwashers, washers and dryers in the woods along the road.
Following guidelines set by Save Our Streams, residents have recruited help from the Bank and Boat Bassmasters, a Ferndale bass sportfishing club, Patapsco State Park rangers, the state Department of Natural Resources and Boy Scout Troop 447.
Volunteers should wear work boots and gloves. For information, call Pam Haley or Kelli Punti at 859-0344.
