Annual Litter Index Survey
Join us the morning of August 7 at 8:15 am at the Hinton Neighborhood Center (12th & Pine) to help with our annual survey – contact us at info@klrb.org to get involved.
By assessing the types of litter in our community, this tool helps us determine the types of community-improvement programs we need in order to achieve the results we desire. By consistent use of this index, we can track overall progress and show hard evidence of successful community enhancement. The index also allows us to target areas of the community where we need to focus our efforts to get more community involvement in the Adopt-A-Street and other cleanup programs.
Earth Day Events
April events bring awareness of the impacts of our lives on the environment. KLRB joins with others in the community to educate about litter prevention, waste reduction, recycling, community improvement, and community involvement.
Adopt-A-Street
Keep Little Rock Beautiful partners with the City of Little Rock’s Public Works’ Adopt-A Street Program. This in an opportunity to beautify the city by volunteering to pick up litter and trash on selected streets. There are many streets in need of adoption. Keep Little Rock Beautiful targets streets identified in the Annual Litter Survey as the “10 Most Littered” and actively seeks out volunteers to adopt the top 10 each year.
Volunteers and groups identify a street (3-7 blocks or more) and pick up litter and trash at least 6 times per year. Public Works provides lists of available streets, signage, safety vests and litter bags, and scheduled pick up of trash collected.
To get involved contact Keep Little Rock Beautiful at info@klrb.org or 501-765-3530 or Little Rock Public Works Adopt-A-Street Program at 501-371-4808.
