Avid community volunteer Barry Krebs submitted the following report with photos about a neighborhood litter cleanup on Hunnicut Road in Mableton:
We appreciate the Cooper Family who also owns the local GoGo Party Bus in
Mableton who cleaned up their adopted mile on Hunnicut Road. With a little
help from the South Cobb Lions Club and Friends of Mableton, we cleaned
removed litter from nearby Felton Lane and Queensferry Road. We got an
early start to avoid the heat.If you or your family is interested in the Adopt-A-Mile program, please
contact Dawn at keepcobbbeautiful@cobbcounty.org . She will order your
signs and provide your supplies.
