We will be cleaning up our area of responsibility, which is a 1 mile stretch of Highway 54 from the New Mexico State line heading in a northerly direction. We are responsible for both sides. Although I’d prefer that we work the entire allotted time, I understand that schedule conflicts arise. Depending on the amount of attendees, we may only be able to hit one side of the road. Everyone MUST wear a reflective vest, which I will provide. I will also have gloves and extra large trash bags on-hand. You do not need to bring trash bags.

For the sake of time, we should focus on the easily retrievable trash and focus less on trash embedded in the thorny brush and decomposed items. All trash will be placed in the supplied trash bags and left where the pavement meets the dirt. All bags need to be securely tied. Extra large trash items can be left outside of the bags. Remember, you MUST wear a reflective vest at all times during this event.

We will meet outside of the Edge of Texas Steakhouse and start “hiking” promptly at 7:30AM. If we do an entire sweep, the total hiking distance is 2 miles. We will do whatever we can in the allotted time frame.

Bring a hat, something warm, personal gloves (if you don’t want to use the community gloves), and plenty of water. You may leave your vehicle at the restaurant or move your vehicle to the shoulder as we work to help increase visibility for passers-by.

If everyone chooses to, we can eat lunch at a local restaurant afterwards to celebrate our dedication to the mission! The Edge of Texas Restaurant is excellent.
