Adopt-a-Highway clean up April 22_2023 in District 6
The Adopt-a-Highway group from HGNNC District 6 west of the 110 Harbor Freeway participated in Caltrans Earth Day clean on April 22, gathering up litter and weeding along the edge of the freeway. The group meets monthly to keep the area near their homes free of litter and reports illegal dumping via 311.
HGNNC is proud to report that our District 6 Representative Jackie Jackson got together with her stakeholders to tackle one of their most chronic areas for illegal dumping. They worked together, cleaned up and used the MYLA311 app to arrange for the bulky items to be picked up. Jackie Jackson is our District Representative of the month. GREAT JOB!
