Abel and Omar keeping the community clean.

Two crew members in the bright blue Power Inn Alliance truck diligently work four days a week removing trash and refuse, including noncompliance signs, to keep the area neat and attractive. Over the years, many of the roads that were once remote have become a dumping ground for refuse and junk. The Alliance spends over $90,000 a year just to reduce litter and trash, keeping with the theory of taking care of the little things prevents bigger problems from escalating.

In three months alone, the Alliance clean-up crew collected and disposed of:

• 10.5 tons of dirt
  
• 1,035 bags of litter
  
• 35 tires
  
• 13 couches
  
• 10 mattresses
  
• 31 pallets
  
• 13 large car parts
  
• Enough shopping carts to start a medium-sized grocery store
  
• Four brand new walkers with tags still attached
  
• Plus other assorted refuse and junk
