Leaders across Hamilton County Government are kindly asking the public to join them for a coordinated spring clean-up of highly trafficked roadways in an effort to keep Hamilton County beautiful.
County-led community service projects to pick up litter will take place Saturday, June 10, from 9-11 a.m. at two locations: Ooltewah Georgetown Road and Dallas Hollow Road.
“Cleaning up roadways may seem small in the face of some of our county’s most serious challenges, but if you don’t do the small things well, it’s hard to get the big things right,” said Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp. “We want to be a community where our children are raised with self-respect and that starts with taking care of this beautiful county we’ve been given.”
This “Spring Clean-Up” is part of a broader push to reduce litter by Mayor Wamp, who launched an initiative with District Attorney Coty Wamp earlier this year aimed at doubling trash pickup assignments through the county’s alternative sentencing program.
“I would encourage all residents in my district, and all across Hamilton County, to join me in tackling this important issue,” said Commissioner Jeff Eversole. “By making this gesture, we are reminding ourselves that it’s on each of us to maintain the beauty of Hamilton County.”
“I’m excited to collaborate with Mayor Wamp’s office in our efforts to reduce litter on our local roadways,” said Commissioner Gene-O Shipley. “This initiative is long overdue, and it marks the start of a creative approach to ensuring that our entire county stays clean.”
Participants are asked to sign up here ahead of time. Trash grabbers, gloves, and water will be provided. Please wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothes.
