Each spring FCA volunteers pick up trash on the stretch of Eight Mile Road between I-275 and Farmington Road. This year’s pickup is April 18-19, starting at 10 a.m. each day. Bags and trash pickers/grabbers will be provided in the FCA entrance area. Please bring your own gloves, snacks and water. Bags are left on side of road as they are filled and Wayne County picks them up. Everyone is welcome to help. Bring a friend! Together, we can make a big difference.
