Love Where You Live is the Town's community beautification initiative with the goals of:

  • Increasing pride in our town
  • Raising awareness about litter and its effect on our community
  • Identifying factors that contribute to litter
  • Providing education about how we all can help reduce litter
  • Creating an interactive process to encourage community involvement
  • Incorporating citizen feedback to determine solutions
DID YOU KNOW?
  • Motorists generate 52% of litter along roadways and highways. That’s 6,729 items per mile! (Keep America Beautiful)
  • Litter cleanup costs the U.S. more than $11.5 billion each year. (Keep America Beautiful)
  • 15% of littering is caused by already existing litter. (Keep America Beautiful)
WHY THIS MATTERS
  • Rainfall washes litter into storm drains.
  • Storm drains lead to creeks and rivers.
  • Those waterways lead to our drinking water reservoirs.
