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. |
