Adopt-a-Road Cleanup - It's that time again! RVC's next
cleanup will be held on Saturday,
October 31st, at 8:00 AM. Recent cleanups have
taken about two hours but,
of course, more volunteers will get
things done in less time. Meet at the southwest corner of Old
Spanish
Trail and Camino Loma Alta; there is adequate parking space at this
location
for those who want to drive their cars.
 Your safety is the number
one priority of the Adopt-a-Roadway Program. The following PC DOT
guidelines are designed to help ensure the safety of each volunteer and
must be adhered to at all times:
- All
participants
must be at least 14 years of age.
- Vehicles must
be
parked at least four feet away from the roadway.
- Individuals
must
remain with the group to which they are assigned.
- Wear
appropriate
attire, including boots or hard-soled, closed-toe shoes (no sandals),
comfortable clothes, gloves and hats.
- Safety vests
must be
worn by all participants at all times during the litter pick-up project.
- Work as a
group
facing oncoming traffic at all times.
- Alcoholic
beverages
are strictly prohibited.
- Do not cross
the
roadway unnecessarily.
- Do not pick
up
litter in the medians or on any traveled portion of the roadway.
- Utility
installations, culverts and drainage structures are off limits. Do not
remove litter from these areas.
- Use caution
when you
encounter the following: cactus, animals, steep slopes, sharp rocks,
insects, barbed wire, traffic, and other unusual circumstances.
- Do not pick
up
hazardous materials such as car batteries, animal carcasses, discarded
chemical containers, or any object that appears questionable. Report
these materials to your supervisor.
- Do not
distract
motorists with horseplay or abrupt, erratic movements. Horseplay of any
kind is strictly forbidden. Roadways are potentially very dangerous.
- When lifting
objects
use correct lifting techniques, keeping your back as straight as
possible. Keep the object you are trying to lift close to your body and
let your legs do the work. Do not attempt to lift heavy objects that
two people working together cannot reasonably lift.
Additionally,
a brief safety meeting will be held immediately
before we start. RVC will provide
safety vests, collection bags, and cold
drinking water.
Please contact, Charlie Prewitt, RVC's Adopt-a-Road
coordinator, at c.prewitt@cox.net
or
647-0252 with any questions.
We hope to see you (and your friends) there!
