In order to do this , I ail going to set _ = two training sessions this year by going Out and cleaning the roadside. will then turn the responsibility over to the tr00z t0 be done twice a year. I would Organize this s0 that all garbage would be separated from the recyclables so that the recyclables can be returned to the recycling center. All of the garbage will be taken and dumped at the City Garage. Titer street that T_ plai! Oil adopting is a part of Green Street that runs from Bull Valley Road, south to the city limits. In order to help me carry this project out, the City of McHenry is donating to me the garbage bags that will be needed and a Place to put the garbage. There will also be an "Adopt A Road" sign put up, stating that Boy Scout Troop 131 has adopted that portion of the road. Finally, road signs that say "Crew at Work" will be donated to the troop. These signs ,lust be put up each time that this project is being done to let people know that we are working On the side of the roaa. Nhat groups will it benefit This project will benefit the whole community particularly residents residing on Green street, Scouts in tile Troop, the Troop, and the Environment. 3. My project will be of benefit to the groups because: This project will keep part of our community clean and free of waste. It also makes our Community look well managed. This project will help our Community because the people who orl, in file Public Worts Department can do more important jobs than picking up trash on the side of the road. It will benefit the newer scouts in the troop by providing them with service hours needed to advance in rank. This project will benefit the entire troop by letting everybody in the Community know that Troop 131 is doing something to keep our Community safe and clean. It also shows the Community that we take pride in our town. icy project will benefit our environment because we will be recycling everything that we can. By doing this, we are cleaning up the trash that is already on the side of the road and we are helping to prevent :pollution also. 2 M� PLANNING DETAILS s Tice approximate length of this stretch of roadway is gout 1J2 mile, the present condition of which has trash at te- r e d t hY011gi!OUt bOti1 Sides ..._ the rGadway 1 thoUg% some faits of the road ha—,Je more litter than other Darts.
