TARTA's Trash Troop Cleans Up In Litter League

The trash is collected, the litter is lessened and the results are in: For the sixth year in a row, TARTA’s Trash Troop has placed first in its division of Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful’s Litter League.

Team TARTA volunteers picked up and disposed of 60.5 bags of trash on Saturday clean-ups this summer, placing the team first in the Business Division and fourth overall among 12 teams countywide. TARTA trailed only the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities Trash Pandas (155 bags), Frogtown Filth Faction (106 ½ bags) and The Pickup Artists (63 bags) in the competition, which saw teams remove a total of 519 ½ bags of litter from the streets of Toledo.

This summer-long beautification project encourages community organizations and individuals to form teams that pick up litter in their respective zip codes. Team TARTA thanks everyone from all 12 teams who took part in this massive effort to clean up the Glass City, and looks forward to taking part again next season!
