In three hours of hard work, these good people removed 97 bags of trash (most of them filled with ceramic tiles), 6 tires, 1 very heavy rear axle, 1 car battery, 1 wheelbarrow, 1 metal bed frame, 7 - 4’X3” steel fence posts, 25 feet’ of 1’X8’ boards, and 1 - 8’ 4X4 post. All of this trash was hauled to the Ox Road transfer station and the actual weight was 3,900 pounds, just short of two tons. 97 bags is the all-time single day tally for trash bags removed. (Previous record for bags was Tommy Dively and the weight record of 3.95 tons is still retained by Sean Kallapos).
The volunteers were Betsy and Dan Green; Ned and Lynn Foster; Anne Brodeur; David Yu; Joe Marr; Bill and Devon Richards; Amie, Denielle and Acacia Whitmore; Jessica Tapp; John Firestone; Sarah Chi; Paul, Jonathan, and Rebecca Blake; John Clements; Andrew and Emily McLenigan; and Terry Nelson. Not all are pictured here. Terry Nelson and David Yu cleaned the trail along US 29 and somehow missed getting photographed. The Whitmore clan was back for 2008 and here is a picture from last year - these ladies cleaned the steep bank along Stringfellow Road.
