We don't do roadkill

The DOT states that the BLC Friends have a 2.8 mile stretch of roadway on Highway 169 from Hwy 62 to Hwy 7. The actual distance is less than that because there are two stretches where the group will not be able to pick.

There is a pretty long stretch of highway going over 9 Mile Creek which has no room for trash pickers so we will skip that. There is a second stretch over Excelsior Boulevard over which we will not work.

We will be working in safety. We will not be walking on the highway itself. We will confine ourselves to a safe zone along the pavement.

Paper cups, plastic bottles, and paper trash are the most common types of roadside trash. There is always wind-blown stuff, too. We don't do roadkill if anyone is worried about picking up dead, yucky animals.
