Summary
On April 17, 1971, the Beaver Island Civic Association sponsored its annual roadside clean-up. Volunteers with trucks and many school children collected cans and debris, taking several truckloads to the dump.
Evidence and limits
The report documents a dated community clean-up and its immediate collection activity. It also says more cans were dumped along roads the following night; the source does not supply a measured cleanup area, disposal record, roster, or evidence of a lasting change in roadside dumping.
