DeBARY, Fla. – The Benfield family just recently moved to DeBary and said they noticed a lot of trash littering the road so they got proactive, including their 10-year-old son Caleb, who took trash collecting to the next level.



It's a good deed that turned into a weekly routine for the family.



"We just take my mom's new bike and she has a basket, so we can put the trash bag in there,' said Caleb Benfield.



"There's a lot of stuff out there. Sometimes I just find coke bottles or foam cups. A lot of foam cups," he said.



The family said on Sunday, they collected at least two bags full of trash just along their street on Highbanks Road.



"It makes me a little sad that there's all this trash," said Caleb.



The family decided to try and get others involved by snapping pictures of Caleb and the trash they collected, then posted it to Facebook. They never thought their pictures would go viral.



"The response has been amazing. We've had over 250 likes for young Caleb and I'm hoping that this will get the word out for those that I see throughout the mornings taking a stroll," said Erika Benfield, mother.



Fellow residents also gave the family an idea to adopt a street.



"He'll have a sign erected in his name," said the family.



The Benfields are in the application process, so Caleb can soon be in charge of keeping his street clean.

However, Caleb said residents don't need a street named after them to protect the environment.



"If you see a bunch of trash. Don't just stay there and just wait until you see more trash the next day, just do something about it," he said.
