(OAKLAND)- Caltrans and the CHP are teaming-up to increase awareness of litter clean-up and enforcement efforts on Thursday, April 24th, 2014, as part of the many Earth Day events happening throughout the Bay Area this week.  

As a preview to Thursday’s Caltrans-CHP Litter Clean-Up and Enforcement Day, motorists will see “Don’t Trash California” litter bags stacked along Bay Area highways starting on Earth Day, April 22^nd and through Litter Enforcement Day on April 24^th.  CHP Commercial Mobile Road Enforcement units will also focus on litter enforcement, and educating drivers to cover their loads on April 23^3d.

Then on Thursday, April 24^th, Bay Area highway message signs will remind everyone to: “Don’t Trash California”. Caltrans will also focus on cleaning-up litter left alongside our highways.

In 2013, Caltrans spent about $62 million statewide cleaning up litter and collecting more 155,000 cubic yards of trash enough to fill more than 1,000 swimming pools with 30,000 gallons of water in each. During Thursday’s event, media ride-along opportunities are available with CHP and Caltrans at these and other litter pick-up locations between 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.:
