NNMD De-Litter Campaign
NNMD kicked off its litter abatement program in March 2016 after a law enforcement official remarked that the District "...didn't have a crime problem, it had a litter problem." Litter in our area gave the appearance of neglect. The District instituted a contract litter abatement program with regular routes along our commercial corridors. In the first month, 3,200 pounds of litter (1.6 tons) and 175 "bandit" signs were removed; that totaled almost 93 pounds of trash per mile. With cleaner streets and sidewalks, the "pounds per mile" has decreased – a sure sign of increased pride in our area.
IT IS TIME TO CLEAN THE NEST IN NEAR NORTHWEST!.
With a little help from all of you, we can help make Near Northwest a better place to live.
