Avid community volunteer Barry Krebs submitted the following report with photos about the Adopt-A-Mile litter cleanup on Brookwood Road:

The Brookwood Road Community Group conducted our first Adopt-A-Mile litter cleanup of Brookwood Road from the East West Connector to Clay Road.

Afterwards, we had time to remove litter from Church Street in downtown and Anderson Mill Road.  Altogether, we removed 23 bags of litter and lots of debris from the area.  We appreciate the Friends of Mableton and South Cobb Lions Club for their help.

If you are interested in adopting a mile in Cobb County, please reach out to
Dawn at keepcobbbeautiful@cobbcounty.gov .  She will provide you with the
details and supplies.  Anderson Mill Road is open for adoption.
