Good Litter News from The Coordinator: BTPM has fallen dramatically

November litter has averaged only 9.14 Bags of Trash Per Mile, down from 25.32 BTMP through October 31, 2005
In what appears to be a good trend, the amount of trash being collected from roadways in Adair County appears to be less. The average number of Bags of Trash Per Mile (BTPM) has now fallen, overall, to 19.35, from the 25.32 BTPM figure released through October 31, 2005

From October 31, 2005, to November 15, 2005, an additional 94.2 miles have been cleaned, with 861 - 30 gallon bags filled. The November BTPM is down to 9.14, an impressive improvement, though much of the drop might be attributed to the amount of travel on the roads being cleaned.


The bags are rated at 300 pounds, or 30 gallons, according to Adair County Solid Waste Coordinator A.L. Sinclair.

The Coordinator reports that through November 15, 2005, 253 miles of Adair County roadsides have been been cleaned.

The total number of bags of trash collected now stands at 4,896.

Cleanup was temporarily suspended November 16, 2005, while Coordinator Sinclair attended a conference at the Drawbridge in Covington, KY.
