MASSENA â Arconic employees went from inside the plant to outside the gates on Tuesday to clean up a portion of County Route 42.
The company adopted a highway and for about five hours on Tuesday, eight to 10 volunteers cleaned up both sides of County Route 42 from the company gate to Dennison Road.
Plant Manager Steve Rombough said they coordinated with St. Lawrence County officials, completed an online form and became the official caretakers of a 1.1-mile stretch of the road.
Armed with trash pickers, the employees began the cleanup and, within a couple of hours, several clear plastic bags stretched along the side of the road indicated the amount and type of trash they had picked up so far during the morning.
