What: We will be picking up litter along Randall Road between Miller Road and Ackman Road in Lake in the Hills. This is about a mile stretch in one direction. This time we are starting at Miller Road and working our way up to Ackman Road.
When: 1 pm - 3 pm, Sunday, October 1
Where: Meet at Ken Carpenter Park.
Why: To “clean up our playing field” as they say.
Good to Know: Trash bags, litter pickers, and safety vests are provided! We'll also have some water on hand. Please dress appropriately. Wear long pants and boots. Make sure you're warm enough. You may also want to bring work gloves.
Because it’s a highway clean-up there are certain rules and precautions we must take. Below are the ones we'd like to highlight:
- All participants must participate in a safety meeting prior to the clean-up (this is part of the event).
- All participants must fill out a waiver indicating they understand the risks involved in highway clean-up. We'll have copies with us for those that haven't filled one out yet.
- All participants should wear safety vests. They will be provided, but you may bring your own if you have one.
- You must be 10 years of age or older to participate. If you are between 10 - 18, then you must be accompanied by an adult.
- We will move together as a group and walk facing oncoming traffic.
- Please do not enter the roadway to pick up trash.
