A meeting will be held on Thursday, March 17 at the Cullman County Economic Development office at 8:00 a.m. in which the mayors in the county will pick up their litter bags and take them to their municipalities. There, they will be available for any group or individual to pick up.
Cherrie Haney of Cullman PALS said, “We encourage everybody to pick up a mile at least, but if they can’t or if they live in the city, they can just pick up their block.
