Normally, , the hulking star of the Halloween series of movies, would be pursuing victims down a darkened street with a machete.

But on Sunday, Oct. 31, the character, as portrayed by Valerie York, was going after trash with a grabber tool in broad daylight, along Fraser Highway in Aldergrove, along with a skeleton, a scary redneck and other Halloween types.

It was the second year Earth Ninjas volunteers have held an in-costume cleanup during the scary season.

Founder Jocelyn Titus said the goal of the group she started is to 鈥渕ake the earth a better place.鈥�

鈥淚 was just a mad mom [because] everywhere I go, I see litter,鈥� Titus explained.

鈥淪o I want to teach my kids that if you want to make a difference and try to make a change 鈥� then it starts with you. So here I am, I鈥檓 just out trying to raise awareness. It means a lot to me.鈥�

This year, what Titus described as a 鈥渟mall but mighty鈥� group of five started on 264th street and made their way along Fraser Hwy. to Murrayville, collecting four bags of litter along the way.

Titus is hoping for a bigger turnout in Halloweens to come as word gets out.

鈥淭he more people that come out and support the cause, the cleaner the community and the better the environment,鈥� Titus told the 91原创 Advance Times.

Earth Ninjas goes out about twice a month to tackle litter.
