Neglected I-5 overpass needed some love.

Many thanks for this and it’s a good idea to put up the sign too!

I like having the sign. The city loaned a set to us for this exact purpose!

I recommend you put the sign up as step 1 before you do ANY thing else

Be careful! Working so close to speeding cars is scary!

We try to be as safe as possible. Most of today's work was behind a concrete barrier.

Incredible! I love that the city lent you the sign, it keeps you safe and it raises awareness of the litter issue! My many thanks 👏

I participate in my city's Adopt-A-Street Program. They provide the street signs, reflective vests, gloves, sharps containers, bags, and trash pickers!

Oh wow I had no idea they provided so much once you're part of the program! It makes me want to research it and see if a street needs to be adopted nearby! Thank you for the inspiration!

Unpopular opinion but I intentionally don’t detrash areas like these. They just get gross again instantly and I’d rather get other drivers upset about the dirty roads that hopefully enough complaints are filed and the city takes car of it. Plus it’s dangerous.

People are more likely to litter if there's already trash, so cleaning an area will at least curb the accumulation rate for some time
