Darke County Sheriff’s Office
Be on alert for
local volunteers
Darke County Sheriff Toby L. Spencer and the Darke County Solid Waste
Management District Director Krista Fourman would like to advise
motorists to use caution while traveling Darke County roadways in the
upcoming weekend.
On April 18th and April 19th Darke County Solid Waste Management
District will be holding its 8th Annual Trash Bash. Over 1100
volunteers and organizations will be cleaning up 635 miles of Darke
County and Township roads. These volunteers will be walking along
roadways and picking up trash. The volunteer’s vehicles will be
parked along or near the roads where the trash pick up is
occurring. Participants should be wearing bright red colored
shirts to increase visibility. Trash pick up is scheduled to
occur from dawn to dusk on Saturday and Sunday April 18th and 19th.
Motorists are advised to slow down and pay attention to volunteers
working near the roadway. As always you should not engage in
distracted driving while operating a vehicle and keep your attention
focused on driving your vehicle. Practice defensive driving
techniques by looking ahead and being prepared for any problems that
may occur.
Darke County deputies will be patrolling Darke County roadways and
enforcing traffic laws. Always wear your seat belt and take the
time to look both ways at intersections. Lets all work together
to make Darke County roadways safe for volunteers and other motorists,
pedestrians and cyclists.
