Monday, April 16, 2018
Nearly 50 City of Lenoir employees took to the streets Monday, April 16, 2018, to kick off the NCDOT Spring Litter Sweep and the City’s #LitterFreeLenoirNC Contest.
Employees from the Administration, Finance, Fire, Main Street, Parks and Recreation, Planning, Police, Public Utilities and Public Works departments tackled several streets in the city including Main Street, Old North Road, Hospital Avenue, US 321, Wilson Street, Creekway Drive, Finley Avenue, Virginia Street, Fairview Drive, Mulberry Street, and Norwood Street.
The City teams picked up 125 bags of litter, one tire, and one toilet!
Over the weekend, volunteers from Waterlife Church picked up litter on Greenhaven Drive and collected approximately 20 bags!
If every resident and business participates and picks up litter in their front yard or in front of their store, we can keep Lenoir, NC litter-free!
#LitterFreeLenoirNC Contest
As part of NCDOT Spring Litter Sweep, the City is sponsoring a litter pickup contest – #LitterFreeLenoirNC – to encourage residents and businesses to help keep Lenoir clean and beautiful.
Entering the contest is easy. Go pick up litter somewhere in Lenoir. Take a selfie of you or your group picking up litter. Post that picture to Facebook or Twitter during the contest with the location and hashtag #LitterFreeLenoirNC.
The contest is open April 14-28, 2018.
Participants will be entered to win some great prizes including a 1-Year Family Membership to the Lenoir Aquatic and Fitness Center, a Roll Out Trash Can, free shelter rentals at a city park, gift certificates from Chix With Stix and Fercott Fermentables, and two Google Home Minis donated by Google!
