Members of the Piankatank Community League spent last Thursday picking up trash alongside Route 198, picking up 14 bags of trash at its Adopt-a-Highway spot, which runs from the Harcum fire station to Hatch Road.

The Virginia Department of Transportation’s Adopt-a-Highway program requires adopters to commit to cleaning up their two-mile roadside spot twice a year, and all equipment is provided. “Your group’s hard work and pride of place is recognized by a sign at your adopted spot, erected after your first two cleanups have been completed,” Gloucester Clean Community coordinator Elisabeth Wilkins said.
