Lodi’s Roman Mangrich, 5, recognized for work as one man cleaning crew

Posted: Saturday, September 22, 2012 2:58 pm | Updated: 6:28 pm, Sat Sep 22, 2012.

Once every three weeks, Roman Mangrich and his mother, Angela Mangrich, take a special walk around their Lodi High School neighborhood armed with striped work gloves, a pair of garbage bags and a sharp eye. Not that they need to look far. There’s plenty of litter in the gutter on Pacific Avenue, and along the fence line marking the border of Zion Reformed Church on Ham Lane.

Mangrich, 5, has made it his personal mission to keep that stretch of sidewalk as clean as possible by picking up garbage every few weeks. His mom comes along too, to pick up any broken glass or particularly gross trash.
