Education.

Educate the citizens of Putnam County and encourage the continued and proper waste disposal practices by the use of recycling, community beautification, and energy efficiency methods to reduce pollution of air, water, and soil.
Community Support.
Lead and assist groups and individuals in cleanups of solid waste and litter.
Advocate for updated litter and solid waste control ordinances and encourage the enforcement of all current litter and solid waste control ordinances.
Litter pollution is a growing and potentially hazardous problem. Wind, traffic, animals and water carry litter often far from its original source. It moves until it is trapped by our waterways, curbs, buildings, fences or some other obstacle. In our canals, litter can restrict water flow, pollute the water with unhealthy chemicals, trap or otherwise harm wildlife, provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes and damage canal structures and equipment.
The apparent lack of concern and loss of local pride results in a negative impact on property values, as well as just plain ugly vistas. Let's work together as a community to reverse this damage. KPB offers various programs to help everyone get involved, and lots of events are upcoming that will promote keeping our county clean and lovely, as it should be.
