Mableton volunteers remove 24 bags of litter near Concord Covered Bridge

Avid community volunteer Barry Krebs submitted the following report with photos about a litter cleanup in the Concord Covered Bridge area:

The Friends of The Covered Bridge got an early start to avoid traffic to
remove 24 bags of litter from their adopted section of Concord Road.
Friends of The Mable House, Historic Mableton, South Cobb Lions Club and
Friends of Mableton pitched in to get this area looking beautiful.  It was a
fantastic way to celebrate our upcoming Earth Day!

If you and your neighbors are interested in the Adopt-A-Mile program, please

signs that will be displayed on each end of your mile as well as provide you
with supplies such as safety vests, grabbers and gloves.
