2008 Mini Cleanup 3 - Barstow, CA - 07/20/2008

Our third mini clean-up of the series was held in Barstow off of Oulet Center Drive. We showed up Sunday morning to a 40 cu roll off dumpster. The weather was perfect, not too hot for being the middle of summer. After our last event in Barstow we decided that having a roll off would be a better solution since we filled the dump truck in record time. As we started setting up the booth, people started showing up for the clean-up eager and ready to clean. The majority of the large items were from the College Hills area off Barstow Road. We brought in a couple couches, mattresses and an assortment of other dumped items. While we picked up trash out of bushes and cans from the dirt around the main OHV area, we noticed that the trash was greatly reduced from our previous clean-ups. Hopefully it has something in part to do with us making a presence in the area and picking up the trash a couple months prior.

By the end of the clean-up we had a full dumpster and a sense of satisfaction from the day's hard work. One more dumpster filled, one less to pick up in the future.
