LUMBERTON — Volunteers are being sought as Robeson County launches its new anti-litter campaign on Wednesday.

According to county Commissioner Raymond Cummings, who is heading up the effort, people are being asked to gather at the parking lot of the former Department of Social Services complex located on U.S. 711 in Lumberton at 7:30 a.m. Beginning at 8 a.m., the group will pick up trash on both sides of N.C. 711, from the former DSS building to Sentinel Fence. Trash will also be collected along N.C. 72, according to the event’s organizers.

After the cleanup, participants will return to the parking lot for refreshments.
