The Cullman County Sheriff’s Office Litter Crew has collected 51,527 pounds of trash off of 185 miles of Cullman County roadways in 2018.

The CCSO Litter Crew also collected 2,389 pounds of aluminum cans that were recycled for $1,329.04 that was donated to Cullman Caring for Kids. Also in 2018 CCSO received the People Against A Littered State (PALS) Governors Awards for the amount of litter that was removed from Cullman County roadways.

“The Litter Crew has done a great job helping clean up our roads. They find everything from tires, nails, to paper sacks. Deputy Ron Wood takes great pride in working with citizens to make sure the roads are cleaned but also to hold the non-violent inmates who are working the litter crew detail accountable as well,” said Sheriff Matt Gentry.

Cullman County residents who would like to report a road that needs to be cleaned can email trash@cullmansherriff.org.
