YOUR SAFETY IS THE TOP PRIORITY
What to Wear
Clothing light or bright colored. • Durable or heavy shoes, boots, pants, tops, jackets, hats. Boots are recommended, with ankle support preferable. • Gloves for working —to protect against sharp objects and wet weather. • Layers of clothing for inclement weather.

• BE TICK SMART! Wear long pants, avoid tall grass, and check for ticks upon your arrival home.

Team up, to Green Up.
Work with partners or teams. • Work on the left side of the road, facing oncoming traffic. • Work one side of a roadway at a time. Travel by vehicle to the other side. • Keep vehicles on same side of roadway as the volunteers. • Park all vehicles well clear of roadway, 10 feet from shoulder. • Watch footing when working on slopes. • Avoid overexertion. Take breaks. Drink water. • Keep a First Aid kit available. • For safety of children, adult supervisors should always be present.

Do not remove suspected toxic or hazardous waste. Needles and suspicious chemical containers or materials should be left where they are! Inform the Sheriff at 888-3502 with the approximate 911 location and they will pick-up the materials.
