With the recent rainfall in the County, our roads are littered with the aftermath of the litter thrown from cars onto the roadsides. Our beautiful lakes have also suffered from this problem. As people may or may not realize, the run off in lots of places runs directly into our Norris Lake. It is a constant problem, and as Keep Union County Beautiful Director, I am asking for your help.

Please take a few minutes to pick up on your road, or if your road is in great shape pick up somewhere else!

Brett Pursel, our Litter Officer, CAN NOT get to all the places that are overran with Litter after these rains. He is limited in the number of inmates he can take with him everyday and, of course, the weather being bad also limits their ability to go out and pick up. So, if everyone in the County could and would do their part we could get this problem under control and make our County look beautiful for the Spring and Summer season! Pictures are worth a thousand words and I am including some with this article so everyone can see for themselves just how bad the problem is. Thanks to all of you that are doing your part. We really appreciate the effort.
