Darke County Sheriff
Motorists need to be alert to local volunteers on roadway Sept. 12 & 13
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 September 12th and September 13th Darke County Solid Waste
Management District will be holding its 13th Annual Trash Bash.
Over 800 volunteers and organizations will be cleaning up 500 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 safety green colored
shirts to increase visibility. Trash pick up is scheduled to
occur from dawn to dusk on Saturday and Sunday September 12th and 13th.
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.
