Clean Community Program

Like many other Americans, you collect and sort items that can help your community reduce the amount of garbage going to the landfill. Today, approximately 21% of our trash is recovered annually by recycling. Manufacturers use them to make new products. We need your support for recycling to remain a part of the solution to the country's garbage issue.

Objectives:

To Change the attitudes toward the disposal of waste through recycling, education, and motivation
To clean up solid waste and litter
To obtain updated litter and solid waste control ordinances
To seek effective enforcement of all pertinent ordinances and laws
To encourage the placing, planting and/or preservation of trees, flowers, plants, shrubs and other objects or ornamentation in the community
