CARRI GRAHAM For The Intelligencer
WOODSFIELD Ohio Department of Transportation crews collected more than160 bags of garbage in one day last week along Ohio 7 in Monroe County.
Ashley Rittenhouse, public information officer for ODOT District 10, said littering is a growing problem across the state with many roadways lined with trash. On Monday, District 10 crews collected 166 bags of garbage along a single roadway in the county, which shows the extent of the issue, she said.
“It’s really a big problem and the bottom line is that it’s totally preventable,” she said. “It’s nothing for us to fill up several truck beds in a day’s time when we go out to do litter pickups.”
