Adopt-A-Mile Community cleanups

Thanks to all the volunteers for another big community Cleanup!

This Cleanup has become a rite of Spring in the Corridor, and on March 28th, a team of community volunteers filled dozens of bags with trash from Powers Ferry and Terrell Mill Roads.

Special shoutouts to Kroger and Custom Signs Today for their contributions. Your business can support the event, too. Email us!

Media

Excellent coverage recognized our volunteers and our sponsors.

(COBB COUNTY, GA) The day started out with dreary skies, but the weather did not dampen the mood for 18 enthusiastic volunteers who turned out on Saturday, October 14 for the Powers Ferry Corridor Alliance’s (PFCA) Fall Adopt-A-Mile Cleanup. The event was held in conjunction with Keep Cobb Beautiful at the Kroger Fuel Center parking lot at 1310 Powers Ferry Rd. The volunteers fanned out along Powers Ferry at Terrell Mill Rd. to pick up trash, and In just 90 minutes, collected enough litter to fill 40 trash bags.

“This was our best turnout ever, thanks in part to Kroger management and Keep Cobb Beautiful management people who also participated, which made this day quite special,” said Patti Rice, PFCA president. “Keep Cobb Beautiful even dedicated a truck, trailer and driver to shadow the various teams so that the bags got collected as each segment of work wrapped up.”
