‘Keep The Green Clean' Anti-Litter Campaign

Press release from the City of Greensboro:

Post Date:03/26/2021 10:45 AM

Litter has become an issue in Greensboro and City leadership is asking residents to pitch in and do your part to keep our roads and streams litter-free.

“Keep the Green Clean” is a slogan to help residents remember to properly dispose of trash and recycling.

How can you help?

• Don’t litter.
• Properly dispose of household waste and recyclables.
• Organize a neighborhood cleanup.
• Adopt-a-Street or Adopt-a-Stream.
• Volunteer for Greensboro Beautiful’s annual clean-up days. The Great American Cleanup is happening in April.

North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is also pitching in with its new Swat-A-Litterbug app which allows users to easily report when someone sees trash being thrown from a vehicle. The owner of the vehicle will receive a formal notification from the N.C. State Highway Patrol informing them about the littering offense, as well as the penalties for littering, and a note urging them to help keep North Carolina clean.

North Carolinians can access the app by visiting the NCDOT website. First time mobile users will be given a pop-up instruction on how to add a shortcut to their phone’s home screen. This will add an icon that, when clicked, will take users directly to the Swat-A-Litterbug form. These instructions will also be available on the app’s settings page.

The Swat-A-Litterbug app will only be available through the NCDOT website.
