Volunteers Needed to help launch Cigarette Litter Prevention Programs in Milton, Johns Creek, and Sandy Springs

Cigarette butts are the most littered item in America.

Are you interested in addressing this problem in your community?

Keep America Beautiful's Cigarette Litter Prevention Program has been developed and field tested over a five-year period. In recent implementations, the program resulted in an average 55% reduction in cigarette butt litter in the areas where it was tested. The Guide to the program is designed for community, municipal and business leaders seeking to reduce the impact of cigarette butt litter. The Guide, including resources, background information, and step-by-step guidance is now online at http://preventcigarettelitter.org

Multi-year support from Philip Morris USA, an Altria Company, made the research and development of the Guide to Cigarette Litter Prevention possible.

Get involved!

To help launch the Cigarette Litter Prevention Program in the Cities of Milton, Johns Creek, and Sandy Springs:

Please contact Michael Strok, Assistant Manager, Programs

Bubble Wrap for sale!

We have large bags of clean, gently used bubble wrap for sale at the recycling center. $5 per extra-large bag.

Document Shredding Now Available Daily!

Protect yourself from identity theft and destroy sensitive documents.

We now collect documents for shredding at our recycling center daily during staffed hours, provided by Eco Shredding. Unlike events when the shredding truck is on site and documents are destroyed immediately, documents will be stored in locked containers in a secure location inside our offices. The cost for document shredding will be $6 per large banker's box.
The recycling center is located at 470 Morgan Falls Road, Sandy Springs, GA 30350.

Keep North Fulton Beautiful is able to provide its award winning programs due to the generous support of our many sponsors, volunteers, and individual supporters. We welcome any gift, large or small, and pledge to use it to help keep our communities cleaner, more beautiful places to live, work and play.
