Last year's cleanup volunteers collected 12,615 bags of litter during the six-week citywide cleanup effort. This year volunteers are expected to collect that many bags of litter and possibly more. Despite 13 years of spring litter reduction campaigns in Fort Worth, litter continues to be a persistent and expensive problem. Citizen participation during the Great American Cleanup can be a communal or individual effort. Individual efforts can include mowing yards, bagging debris from sidewalks and gutters, cleaning out garages and tool sheds, removing unsightly junk vehicles or cleaning and mowing portions of an alleyway or maybe an entire alley.
Cleanup ideas are many.
All it takes is a few hours and a willingness to keep Fort Worth beautiful. Registered volunteers can pick up their trash bags and other cleanup supplies at the Pep Rally. Interested individuals can call the city's Solid Waste Management Division at 871-5190 to volunteer or for more information.
