Letter: It only takes a little time each week to keep the streets clean

SUN JOURNAL • July 9, 2023

I have voluntarily participated in the City of Lewiston’s spring and fall cleanup for the past couple of years. It doesn’t take long for the same areas collected to begin to fill up with more litter. From the end of March until December, I have averaged about five hours a week collecting trash from sidewalks and curbs. It could be almost a full-time job trying keep up with litter collection along Lewiston’s downtown streets. It only takes a home or business owner a little of their time each week to keep areas in front of their home or business free of litter. ~ David Gardner, Auburn
