“Private Motor Coach, Inc. Cleans-up Whitehouse”

 Eleven community service volunteers joined Private Motor Coach, Inc. President Ed Lonsbary and his daughter Suzie Wassel on Saturday, April 3^rd for the annual observance of the “Don’t Mess With Texas Trash-Off.”

The volunteers, recruited by the Keep Whitehouse Beautiful Committee, worked throughout this small East Texas town to pick-up litter along the streets and highways.

The Private Motor Coach, Inc. crew focused on the two-mile stretch of Old Tyler Road.

Beverage cans, fast food wrappers, cigarette packs, and other litter filled 78 trash bags. A pick-up truck full of large items carted away evidence of illegal dumpers.  “We found a sofa and chair, tires, roof shingles, and other construction debris dumped along this scenic country road.” Lonsbary wonders, “Why can’t people just dispose of this stuff properly?”

Lonsbary adopted Old Tyler Road in Whitehouse, Texas over two-years ago – one mile is adopted in the company name Private Motor Coach, Inc. and the other mile is in the name of the Lonsbary Family.

“We made a commitment to keep our roadway clear of litter.”  Lonsbary said, “Our company was founded to take people on road trips across America.  People don’t want to see our roads littered.  And, although we can’t do roads everywhere, our little contribution, along with others, makes a big difference in the appearance of Texas.”

Private Motor Coach, Inc. is a specialty travel company that takes 2 – 10 people Anywhere-Anytime along America’s highways in the luxury of a bus conversion that is a house-on-wheels.
