    CULLMAN, Ala. – Cullman County People Against a Littered State (PALS) is in need of volunteers to assist in cleaning local roadways. The organization’s president, Cherrie Haney, said cleanup can take anywhere from 1-4 hours depending on the condition.  

    You can volunteer by contacting Haney at 256- 531-4222. She helps volunteers sign up and assigns roadways for cleanup.  

    In March 2025 the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) reported, “In 2024, ALDOT spent more than $9.4 million statewide on litter removal. That is a $500,000 increase from 2023, where ALDOT spent nearly $9 million. In 2022, ALDOT spent $7 million.” 

    “The less money we spend on litter cleanup, the more we can invest in making roads safer for everyone,” ALDOT spokesperson James Gordon said at the time.
