Clean Up Aiken to pick up trash on Sudlow Lake Road
AIKEN COUNTY, Sc. (WJBF)- A non-profit group called 'Clean Up Aiken' is picking up trash along a 4 and a half mile stretch of roadway. This cleanup could possibly take up to 2 hours. SRP Federal Credit Union and the Augusta Greenjackets organizations will work alongside Clean Up Aiken today. They will clean the roads that are between US 78 to Ascauga Lake Road. They are working hard to make roads look nice for the Masters and more importantly, making the roads many of you drive on look good. One co-director of Clean Up Aiken tells me why they chose this road. 'There's no shortage of littered roads in Aiken County, that's for sure. We choose ones typically that are close to where our sponsors, organization is located because it's sort of their neighborhood, if you will, and Sudlow has, for whatever reason, awful lot of litter. And it isn't being cleaned up currently by any other organization. So it's one that fits very nicely for our model,' said Kic Young. And since they have been cleaning a lot of Aiken County roads for quite some time, the other co-director said they have made an impact in the county. 'We've gotten a lot of notoriety from doing this. People in our county know who we are. And people come to us now and ask us to clean up the roads and to facilitate a clean up for them. And the impact is really overall a cleaner county and people see it,' said Jerry Lang. To register just click here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
