Clean Community Releases
2008 Litter Collection Totals
Shelbyville, KY.
Shelby County Clean Community Coordinator Kathy Ranard
released the 2008 totals for the Litter Abatement
Program.
Ranard reported that
the Litter Abatement crew cleaned up 790.30 miles of
county and state roads in 2008, while collecting a total
of 5,874 bags of litter, compared to last year’s total
of 5,185 collected bags.
Utilizing the
availability of Shelby County Detention Center Class D
inmates to assist in daily clean-up tasks and an
additional vehicle provided by Shelby County Solid
Waste, has saved the county $51,766.00 in 2008 alone.
The Clean Community
Program strives to protect our environment by picking up
litter along roadways, working on various beautification
projects, and participating in community service
programs. The Clean Community Program strives to
protect our environment through the promotion of state
and county-wide projects such as Commonwealth Cleanup
Week, Adopt-a-Highway, and our local Community Clean-Up
Days.
The Clean Community
Program was funded by a $49,000 State Litter Abatement
Grant. This grant covers the vast majority of all
Litter Abatement expenses throughout the year.
The Clean Community
Program and Shelby County Solid Waste encourage
recycling awareness throughout Shelby County in an
effort to conserve natural resources, save energy, and
reduce waste while saving landfill space.
