Keep Vermilion County Beautiful Goals:
To change the behavior of those who litter with long term and lasting solutions.
The beautification of the county, one community at a time.
To make each person aware that “every litter bit hurts”.
To make Vermilion County a cleaner, healthier, safer, and more beautiful place to live and work.
By forging partnerships with the public and private sectors, Keep Vermilion County Beautiful will focus on litter prevention, education, and beautification. KVCB supports all recycling efforts taking place within the county.
Adopt-A-Spot :
In 2012, there were 27 registered Adopt-A-Spot groups/individuals. They picked up a total of 861 bags of litter. That's making a difference in Vermilion County!
Do you like to walk? Would you like to influence your children or grandchildren by teaching them a ‘life-long’ habit? If so, then KVCB has the program for you!
Adopt-A-Spot was developed by HALO, Danville’s PRIDE GROWS, and KVCB to give individuals and groups the chance to pick up litter and enter into a litter lottery three times a year earning a chance to win money for doing the right thing…picking up litter.
Adopt-A-Spot is seeking volunteers who will pick up litter at least 3 times per year: once in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Once you register with KVCB (form is below) you can pick your spot and you will be sent a Litter Lottery form at the end of May, August and October. KVCB will give you pickers, vest, gloves and bags, if you need them.
Register TODAY and start teaching the next generation Lesson 1 – DO NOT LITTER
And Lesson 2 – Pick up any litter you come across to make your part of the world a better, cleaner place!Adopt-A-Spot registration form can be downloaded from here:
