Dougherty County employees to participate in Stash the Trash
From staff reports
ALBANY — Starting at 9 a.m. Friday in front of the Government Center at 222 Pine Ave. in downtown Albany, Dougherty County employees and teams will set the example of helping keep the community litter free by picking up trash in the downtown community.
This event is the annual kickoff of Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful’s Stash-The-Trash event that will officially be held on Saturday in various areas of Albany and Dougherty County.
Designed as an awareness activity focusing on the community’s attention to how important the visual appearance is to local citizens, as well as visitors, participants ranging from students, individuals, businesses, churches, youth and civic groups, and others show up annually to volunteer their time. Last year, the event engaged 1,287 volunteers, who cleaned 103 miles of roadway, removing 20 tons of debris.
