LITTER
Litter
is a problem on our roadways. It's unsightly, expensive to
remove and poses a real threat to motorists and wildlife.
In 2004, the state spent a staggering $14 million in roadside
litter removal. And the problem is here, too, in Cobb County
.
WHAT
YOU CAN DO You,
your club, civic group or business can keep Cobb beautiful
by joining the Adopt-a-Mile Program. As part of this program,
you agree to remove trash from a single, mile-long stretch
of road on a quarterly basis – January, April, July and October.

•

THE
COUNTY'S ROLE Cobb
DOT provides cleanup supplies, signs and trash bag removal.
Many volunteers, however, opt to take the trash to a dumpster
or the Transfer Station themselves.
YOUR
WORK ACKNOWLEDGED After
the first cleanup, Cobb DOT will post signs at either end
of “your” mile, identifying you as the volunteer who has gone
the extra mile to help keep our county clean.
A
SENSE OF COMMUNITY Program
volunteers serve as visible reminders to those who drive our
roadways that we are all stewards of the land. It is an ideal
way for groups to work together to Keep Cobb Beautiful
. Cobb County has a reputation as one of the Southeast's
most attractive communities. Let's keep it that way!
