Giles Road in Grafton, Ohio has been the home to the Ross Group of Companies—Ross Incineration, Ross Environmental and Ross Transportation, for more than 70 years. It is incredibly important to all of the companies to keep the road to the site clean and safe. To maintain Giles Road, the Ross companies participate in Lorain County’s Adopt-A-Highway clean up program.
This year, the Ross companies had a great turn out for the Adopt-a-Highway clean up, despite Mother Nature cancelling the activities twice as a result of inclement weather. The snow, sleet, and rain didn’t stop our dedicated Associates. We waited for the temperamental Northeast Ohio weather to cooperate and finally got to work in June of 2021.
Ross associates, most of whom live in Lorain County combed both sides of the two-mile long Giles Road which connects Durkee Road and State Route 82. Associates picked up a variety of trash and debris and a total of 10 trash bags were filled with the discarded litter.
While a handful of associates tended to the garden and seeding, others walked both sides of Giles Road to pick up litter. It was done in coordination with Lorain County’s Adopt-a-Highway program, which Ross associates have participated in for many years.
