Our assigned area is the north side of Hwy 280 between the Meridian Avenue and Saratoga Avenue. If we have enough crew members, we also work on the Meridian-Southwest-Expressway interchange. We also try to keep Moorpark and Parkmoor between Bascom and Leigh clean because they are de fact on-ramps and off-ramps in this area. We work from 9:00 to 12:30 one Saturday each month. A couple of times a year, we take on The Alameda exit on northbound Highway 880.

YEARLY TOTALS
2020
49 bags of trash, plus 7 bags of recyclables (so far)
2019
199 bags of trash, plus 21 bag of recyclables
The total for 2019 are low compared to prior years but we were rained out in January and February, and had to cancel in December. Even considering we missed three months, however, it was still one of our lightest year. Could it be that the litter situation has improved, that people are not littering as much?
