On Saturday December 9th, the Red Mountain Cut Foundation hosted a litter pick-up on two miles of Highway 280 running through the Cut in Red Mountain between Homewood and St. Vincent’s Hospital. More than 20 volunteers came together for 3 hours and cleaned-up almost 800 pounds of litter between mile markers 272 and 274. Thank you to all of our volunteers who came out on a foggy Saturday morning to help keep Birmingham beautiful!
Having formally adopted these two miles of roadway through ALDOT’s Adopt-a-Mile program, which is administered by Alabama PALS (alpals.org), the Foundation plans to host regular quarterly litter pick-ups. Our goal is keep this highly visible gateway between downtown Birmingham and our Over-the-Mountain communities looking its best for residents and visitors of the Magic City. With almost 100,000 cars traveling this artery daily, the appearance of this space sends an important message of the pride we take in our community. Please help us out by not littering!
