Stuck in Vermont- Trash Warrior

Johnson resident Leonard Prive has always loved nature and keeping things clean. He worked as a custodian for the Burlington School District for 39 years before retiring in 2015. During the early days of the pandemic, Prive decided to get off his couch and pick up trash along Routes 15, 100C and 100. He begins his work when the snow melts and finishes by early May, when the greenery obscures the garbage. Prive volunteers 6-8 hours a day. Over the last few years, he’s filled hundreds of bags with litter, which he leaves by the side of the road for the VTRANS to collect.
