To the editor:

I would like to publicly thank Laurie Ramie, Shannon Cilento and Ashley Hall-Bagdonas of the Upper Delaware Council for organizing a very successful Litterpluck. If you're so inclined, Sullivan County accepts litter plucked trash free through June 30. Call your Town or Village Clerk for free dump stickers.

With their direction and assistance, the litter on State Route 97 was picked up by UDC member towns from one end to the other. I'm sure there were hundreds of pounds of roadside trash that were disposed of at no cost thanks to Sullivan County's annual Litterpluck program.

It's troubling to realize that if we want our town to look nice, we have to go out and pick up other people's garbage every single year. It's a disgusting job and wouldn't be necessary if only people would carry a trash bag in their car and empty it when they get home.

We at the Town of Delaware had more volunteers than ever before and they did an amazing job - thanks to all who helped in our continued effort to clean up our Town!
