# Event Details

- **Event Name**: December Adopt a Highway Cleanup
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 21 Dec, 2025 at 11:00 am – Sun, 21 Dec, 2025 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Come join us cleaning up on HWY 421! This location is on the way to the New Hanover County Landfill and is in desperate need of a cleanup. When trash is not tied down properly, this can cause debris to be strewn on the road way. This is not only bad for the environment, but can also be a hazard for motorists.

Since 2020, Plastic Ocean Project has removed 12,416.88 pounds of trash from this stretch of Highway 421, resulting in the planting of 497 trees through our Trees4Trash  program.
