Fed up community cleans illegal trash on their own
NANAIMO — Mike Lawrence knew he had to help when he saw yet another Facebook post about a massive pile of trash illegally dumped on the side of the road.
The post was made on Sunday, April 9 and the next morning Lawrence was out on Bennie Rd. near the Cedar Rd. intersection with his friends cleaning it up.
“Being that I’m a fisherman, I don’t want to see all that garbage around,” he told NanaimoNewsNOW.
Lawrence said seeing so much garbage strewn about rankled him to his core, since he grew up in logging camps where everyone cleaned up after themselves.
