There is a group of us who do this if you would like to join in. Damon Tucker is the person who got it rolling - he started a facebook page called Opala in Paradise, and he, Starsha young, Kevin Dayton, and others have kept it rolling. They have a bad spots identified and then usually on a Saturday a group shows up and hauls as much as can away. We did one down here a few months ago on red road - 6 truckloads of trash including appliances to the dump. Check it out if you use Facebook - and if you dont, you can contact Damon at damontucker.com
I thought it was Kevin Dayton who came up with the idea and pitched it to Damon and Tiffany Edwards Hunt?

Regardless, it's an excellent idea and it's great that the group is able to remove some really bulky items that have been dumped. Kudos to all involved. []
From your link:
"After thinking about the concept, I [Damon Tucker] set up the Facebook page called Opala in Paradise (Opala is the Hawaiian word for garbage)."
Specifically maybe Kevin came up with the idea, but Damon got it rolling, and he and Starsha I believe got the 1st clean-ups rolling. This was started at the time Kevin was working for the Mayor.
But thanks for the correction, KathyH. Kevin does need the kudos for the idea.
