Yes, the summer is waning but Boris Weinstein’s annual fall “redd-up” campaign is heating up, and he wants you!

The man behind Citizens Against Litter (not the guy in the photo; Uncle Sam's just a stand-in) has almost every city neighborhood and 16 county municipalities signed up for the big event over the weekend of Oct. 15-17, but he believes there can never be too many people picking up after the heedless trashheads among us.

“The fall Redd Up is a full court press against litter,” he said.

If your neighborhood or community has not signed on and you want it to, contact Boris at 412-688-9120 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
