Its that time of year....

Time for Litter Sweep!

Litter Sweep sponsored by the NC DOT runs April 18 - May 2 this spring. Organize a group to pick up litter somewhere. Any sort of group is ok and any location that needs a little TLC is a good choice. You can pick up trash bags, vests, and gloves from the NC DOT Maintenance Office or from Kelly at the Agricultural Resources Center (call first to make sure our supply isn't gone).

If these next two weeks are too soon for you to get a group together.... no worries! The Great American Cleanup sponsored by Keep America Beautiful runs til the end of May. That gives you 6 weeks to organize and have a cleanup.

If you do plan a cleanup event, we would like to know about it. We keep track of clean up efforts in Catawba County. Lets hope for a long list of cleanups this spring! No experience necessary. It just takes someone willing to make a difference in the community!
