State - Last Wednesday, Caltrans teamed up with Keep California Beautiful and the California Highway Patrol for a statewide Litter Removal and Enforcement Day. Caltrans District 10 maintenance and office employees removed litter, trash and debris in eight counties, including Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne. Last year, taxpayers paid $57 million to clear out 182,000 cubic yards of litter and debris along California's highways — enough to fill 11,300 Caltrans garbage trucks to the brim. Putting the trucks end-to-end would stretch 60.5 miles, Caltrans officials say. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
