As we approach Earth Day, let’s talk about litter for a moment.
Since 2017, our litter crew has picked up more than 580,000 pounds of roadside trash! Despite the pandemic, 2020 was a record year for litter pick-up and 2021 is currently on pace to be even worse.
Listen to your friends and neighbors. Take pride in where you live and let’s put a lid on litter!
