Introduction: The City of Fayetteville encourages residents to participate in Fayetteville Beautiful to reduce the amount of litter and other pollutants on City streets and in stormwater systems.
The City of Fayetteville encourages residents to participate in Fayetteville Beautiful to reduce the amount of litter and other pollutants on City streets and in stormwater systems. Registration for the city-wide clean-up event opens on April 3. Fayetteville Beautiful is scheduled for Saturday, May 6 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Volunteers should meet at the open lot at 447 Murchison Road. Litter bags, gloves, water and snacks will be provided to volunteers.
The City-sponsored program is dedicated to encouraging others to take greater responsibility for improving their environment through litter abatement, waste reduction, and beautification programs. Fayetteville Beautiful aligns with the City’s “Put Waste in its Place” campaign that reminds residents and visitors of their role in ensuring Fayetteville remains a desirable place to live, work and recreate.
Here are a few ways residents can help with putting waste in its place:
Use reusable containers when possible
Recycle bottles, cans, paper, and plastics
Use trash containers with tightly fitting lids
Adopt a street/site and keep it clean
Discourage family and friends from littering
Provide adequate trash and recycling containers, place conspicuously and empty often
Encourage public officials to enforce the litter laws
Report litter violations
Support Fayetteville Beautiful with your donations or volunteer for projects
Fayetteville Beautiful happens twice per year, in the Spring and Fall. Volunteers collected 1.3 tons of litter at the Spring 2022 event.
