According to JAXPORT officials, the clean-up has been an annual Earth Day tradition since they acquired this section of the road in 2022 through the Florida Department of Transportation’s Adopt-A-Highway program.
In total, employees collected dozens of bags of trash, two car bumpers, a tractor-trailer seat, a cooler lid, a bucket, and other items, officials said.
