State Representative Cullie Tarleton and State Senator Steve Goss are encouraging people to participate in Litter Sweep, which is the state Department of Transportation's roadside cleanup event. Litter Sweep will be held the last two weeks of April. Goss said, "Helping to clean our roadsides is an easy, important way to help give back to our state. Working together for just a few hours can make an enormous difference in how we and others see our community."

If you or your civic organization would like to volunteer, you can call the DOT's Litter Sweep Hotline at 800-331-5864.
