“On Sunday, December 15, 2019, Val’s Valiants braved the cold, grabbed some reinforced gloves, and picked up litter along South Avenue (State Route 28) for the approximately 1 mile stretch between South Martine Avenue and Jersey Avenue in Scotch Plains as part of New Jersey’s Adopt-A-Highway program.
Val’s Valiants adopted this particular stretch of roadway during the second quarter of 2019. The group has conducted a litter clean up quarterly along this stretch ever since, with the December 2019 clean up being its third clean up conducted to date.
Many of the paper products the group gathered had been sitting in the snow and rain. Because they were wet, dirty, and contaminated, they could not be recycled under Union County standards.”
