Maintaining Order of Torringtonâs Habitat ðģ:
On August 25, 2024, 3 youth members of our organization cleaned up 140 LBS of trash behind the wooden fences of the Target parking lot. (7 bags total, 515 LBS of trash collected total since our organizationâs founding)
In all of our cleanups, this by far has to have been one of the worst places we have cleaned up, having dense litter and various bottles of alcohol. There was dense foliage everywhere, and despite the thick clothes, we were consistently being caught up in thorn bushes and had to watch out for shattered glass.
Despite this, our members pushed through and cleaned as much as they could. In addition to the trash, a broken fence door along with 2 miscellaneous planks of wood were found which we were unable to haul home with our equipment. In the end, we are satisfied to have cleaned up all we did.
We hauled our trash to a dumpster, proudly provided by our sponsor, Taste of Thailand (@ 19 McDermott Ave, Torrington CT 06790). Huge thanks to them for letting us dispose of all our trash since our second cleanup. Go check them out, they have decent Thai food and drinks! Youâll also be supporting us indirectly by going there, haha. âŧïļ
