DeKalb County Litter Prevention
"Keep DeKalb Beautiful plays a key role in preventing littering along county roads and public spaces. KDB is a member
of the Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation, a certified Keep America Beautiful, Inc. affiliate and is dedicated to improving
the look, vitality, and economic integrity of our community by beautifying surrounding areas. Neighborhoods that are beautiful
to look at are beautiful to live in, work in, and visit. Community clean-ups, anti-littering messaging, planting trees and
landscaping projects are completed by volunteer groups in order to create a more aesthetically pleasing County."

Keep America Beautiful
"Litter is more than just a blight on our landscape. Litter is costly to clean up, impacts our quality of life and economic
development, and eventually ends up in our waterways and oceans. Among our many initiatives, the Keep America Beautiful Litter
Index and Community Appearance Index are step-by-step methods of assessing current litter conditions and other indicators
which is used in thousands of communities and by municipalities nationwide. Today, we are as committed as ever to providing
people with the resources to help prevent litter with the ultimate goal of helping to end littering in America." (Keep
America Beautiful, n.d., End Littering, Retrieved from https://www.kab.org/resources/end-littering)
