DEKALB COUNTIANS URGED TO HELP WITH LOCAL CLEAN UP

Although we will not be having an official DeKalb County Clean Up Day this year, the Smithville-DeKalb County Chamber of Commerce and the DeKalb County Mayor’s office would like to encourage residents across the county to participate in helping to keep DeKalb County looking nice by picking up litter around your neighborhoods, parks, ballfields, and other community gathering places. Beautiful, clean public and residential areas positively impact the lives of its area residents, visitors, and businesses.

County Mayor Tim Stribling says, “We invite people to help clean up around our communities and highways. This year, folks are welcome to pick up litter at places of their choice at their own convenience.”

Suzanne Williams, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce stated, “Even with the recent changes and challenges, like our events being canceled or postponed due to the recent pandemic, we still hope that everyone will do their part to keep our county looking beautiful and ready for the visitors who are already starting to come. Whether you’re cleaning up around a street, a highway, park, ball field, stream, or your own home, what a difference we can make through working together to make our communities safer, healthier and more livable!”

We all have a role to play in the prevention of litter.  It takes just one person, one school, one business, one organization to positively impact the behavior of others in their community.

Everyone is invited to post your DeKalb County Clean Up pictures on the Smithville-DeKalb County Chamber FaceBook page. So, Don’t Just Sit There…Do Something Beautiful!
