The first thing Gina Challenger came across during the 91原创 Township Clean Up 91原创 Day was a needle.

The local woman was one of the volunteers out on a drizzly Saturday to help beautify the community.

鈥淚鈥檝e always wanted to help clean up 91原创,鈥 she explained. 鈥淚 just see way too much garbage when I鈥檓 out walking.鈥

She teaches and said it鈥檚 still a struggle to get the message out to not litter.

Challenger was pleased that there was relatively little litter in the area of Bedford Landing where she was out on foot as part of the community-wide clean up effort.

Also in the area was Leah Hawley who was pleased to take part after seeing details of the event online.

Teams will be visible around the Township Saturday picking up litter.

While this is a special campaign, the Township has other beautification initiatives including for streets, parks, trails and creeks where people can help pick up litter up to twice monthly at specified locations.
