Rhode Island TU maintains a 2-mile stretch of Rte. 165 in Exeter, RI with four roadside cleanups from May to October. Bags of trash that are collected are picked up and properly disposed by Hope Valley.

Volunteers meet at 10:00am at the RIDEM Deer Check Station on Rte. 165 where it crosses over the Wood River. We form teams to cover approximately 1/2 mile of roadside as well as areas around the Check Station. Lunch will be provided back at the Check Station.

Roadside safety vests, gloves, bags and tools will be provided. Please send us an email - rhodeislandtu@gmail.com - if you are planning to attend so we may plan for lunch. Also, please advise if you have any dietary restrictions.
