Fayetteville Beautiful is a committee of concerned citizens dedicated to encourage others to take greater responsibility for improving their environment. The key to a long term sustainable solution for a more beautiful Fayetteville is its success at changing individual behavior and attitudes about litter. We plan to accomplish that through the strategic plan developed in the 6 subcommittees. Those subcommittees are Beautification, Education, Communication, Ordinance, Enforcement and Technology.

A measurement tool is essential to identify and understand the extent of the litter problems in Fayetteville. Keep America Beautiful has designed an excellent litter assessment tool for communities, the Litter Index. This has recently been completed for Fayetteville and will be our way to focus causes and solutions to areas throughout the city.

        • Use returnable containers when possible
        • Recycle bottles, cans, paper and plastics
        • Use trash containers with tightly fitting lids
        • Adopt any area and keep it clean
        • Discourage family and friends from littering
        • Provide adequate trash receptacles, place conspicuously and empty often
        • Encourage governmental officials to enforce the litter laws
        • Report witnessed litter violations
        • Support Fayetteville Beautiful with your donations or volunteer for one of our many projects

 

Why People Litter
> they don't feel a sense of ownership;
> they believe someone else will pick it up; and
> litter has already accumulated.
