HIGHWAY CLEAN-UP PROJECT
ANTRIM DEMS keep our Antrim County highways clean. Three times a year (spring, summer, and fall) , Antrim Dems volunteer for cleaning up sections of two highways in Antrim County, US-31 and M-88.
​
Over the past 14 years , the Antrim Dems have helped 'keep Antrim County highways beautiful' by picking up almost 500 bags of litter along 5 miles of Antrim County highway.
​
Dates for 2021 cleanup are:
Spring: May 1-9
Summer: July 17-25
Fall: September 25-October 3.
