Vinings Cove Volunteers Remove 19 Bags of Litter From Buckner Road

Avid community volunteer Barry Krebs submitted the following report with photos about an Adopt-A-Mile cleanup on Buckner Road.

We appreciate the Vinings Cove Homeowners for cleaning up their adopted Buckner Road from Veterans Memorial Hwy (with the new traffic light!) to Oakdale Road. With the help of the GA Native Plant Society and South Cobb Lions Club, we were able to remove 19 bags of litter. We saw a lot of littered cans of Modelo Tall Boy cans with the top of the cans sawed off??? If you know who is doing that, please ask them to stop littering.

If you are interested in the Adopt-A-Mile Program, please contact Dawn at keepcobbbeautiful@cobbcounty.gov . She can help you with everything including supplies.
