Coal Ridge Honor Society Bags Some Trash for Adopt-A-Place Program

Honor Society students from Firestone’s Coal Ridge Middle School gathered for a quarterly cleanup along the Firestone Trail on April 14, 2012, as part of the group’s involvement in Firestone’s Adopt-A-Place program. The program is designed for local organizations, businesses and individuals to come together to combat litter problems in the community to help keep Firestone a beautiful community to live, work and enjoy.

The Coal Ridge Middle School Honor Society adopted the Firestone Trail from Firestone Boulevard to Sable Avenue throughout 2012. The program requires that the group do at least one cleanup a quarter in the adopted place.

Started in 2005, the Adopt-A-Place Program began when the Town of Firestone and its residents recognized the need to clean up litter in the community. By participating in the Adopt-A-Place program, community groups, businesses and individuals help the Town of Firestone reallocate funds, time and manpower to other much-needed programs and projects, including park construction, upgrading and maintenance, trail improvement projects and more.
