ABQ Ride hosts annual Adopt-A-Stop bus stop clean up
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – On Saturday, dozens of volunteers came out to support the 4th annual Adopt-a-Stop community bus stop clean-up, hosted by ABQ Ride. The yearly clean-up is still in its beginning years, but has already been making a big impact across the city. From 9 a.m. until noon, volunteers headed out in their yellow vests, with trash grabbers and white pick-up buckets, to do good, one bus stop at a time.

They had some help, of course, as the city's Sun Vans helped take volunteers along their clean-up route, from Girard Blvd. up to Wyoming Blvd. The clean-up serves another purpose as well, as June is Pride month, and city officials want that corridor to shine. 'So this clean up is once a year, every summer leading into the Albuquerque Pride parade to make sure that whole corridor sparkles for the event so people focus on the floats and not on the trash,' said Madeline Skrak, Public Information Officer, ABQ Ride.
The city encourages adopting any of the 2,700 bus stops across the city. The effort to keep the bus stops clean goes beyond June, and officials say is a year-round job.
