This was part of the 19th annual Get Swept Up campaign in Starkville from local businesses, civic groups and private citizens who take time each fall to pick up trash around town. This year there were more than 570 volunteers taking part in the litter pick-up initiative, according to the Greater Starkville Development Partnership. Jessica Lindsey/Dispatch Staff
