Keep Athens-Clarke County Beautiful is excited to partner with UGA's Debris Tracker for this year's Litter Index. To participate, volunteers should track items using the Keep Athens-Clarke County Beautiful +UGA list between June 1 and July 24, 2022. The Debris Tracker app can provide valuable information to those in charge of fighting litter and can help local governments effectively manage resources and create policies to keep litter off our streets and out of our waterways. Having many eyes on all areas of Athens will be essential for understanding the issue and creating solutions for a cleaner and more beautiful community. During the Litter Index, we are asking volunteers to walk and collect litter and data for 100 meters or for 20 minutes. Go to www.keepathensbeautiful.org/litterindex to see our list of targeted sites and download maps.. Get started by downloading the free Debris Tracker app on Android or iOS at www.debristracker.org.
