The Glenville area was benefited from free trash clean-up
last week courtesy of the Glenville State College Pioneer
football team and staff.
Coaches and players were taken about three miles outside
of town and worked their way back toward Glenville.
Spotters watched for oncoming traffic as workers roamed
the ditch-lines along U.S. 33 & 199 and Route 5. Volunteers
spent a total of four hours in their efforts.
A total of 90 players participated in the effort. Several
dumpsters of trash were collected in the process. Some
members of the team used weed-eaters in and around
the downtown Glenville area.
Smith Land Surveying, Inc. owner Greg Smith and GSC
football teamed up last spring for their initial clean-up
effort in the downtown area.
Smith wanted to expand the effort this year, according
to head football coach Dave Hutchinson, hence the reason
for beginning the effort this year beyond the boundaries
of the city limits.
The WV Department of Highways provided bags, gloves
and disposed of the trash following the clean-up.
Hutchinson said it was very important for the GSC football
team to stay involved with the community. "As much as
the community supports us, it's important for us to give
back."
