About 20 members participated on the day of the event, despite the cold and windy weather. They picked up trash and cans along Route 94 from the Wa Neighborhood Association trash station to the Hokuryu Bridge and along the town roads to help beautify the environment.

Each participant brought a garbage bag and collected garbage, cans, pieces of wood, etc. that had fallen along the banks and irrigation ditches along a 2.4-km one-way road.

The garbage collected filled the back of a light truck!

After the cleanup, everyone gathers!
