There are team captains that are familiar with the locations. After completing a registration form for each participant, volunteers will be matched up to drive or carpool to a cleanup up site,usually within a 3 mile radius. There they will use bags supplied by the coalition, to pick up litter and place bags in one location. Where it will be inventoried & picked up later by municipal workers.
