More than 100 bags of trash – about 300 pounds – were collected Oct. 27 during the a base-wide clean up. Col. Carl Buhler (right), 78th Air Base Wing commander, led the effort. Organizations policed their immediate work areas, while personnel from the 78th ABW policed some of the high-traffic areas on base. Cigarette butts were the primary source of trash. Smoking is only authorized in designated areas and butts must be placed in the proper container as they present a potential fire hazard and not doing so is littering. “It's all about taking pride in the appearance of our base and community,” said Chief Master Sgt. Patrick Bowen, Robins command chief. U.S. Air Force photo by Sue Sapp
