Are you interested in helping to make Catawba County a great place to live? You can play a big part in keeping Catawba County Beautiful. Litter prevention is most effective when we citizens change our community's attitudes about litter. When you are a volunteer, YOU become a role model for community improvement. Here are some things you can do to help.

• Always be sure to dispose of plastic bags appropiately so they do not become litter.
• Consider using a reusable shopping bag when shopping instead of a plastic bag.
• Never, ever litter!! And remind others not to, too!
• Gather a team and register to participate in the Great American Clean Up, in Spring of 2009.
• With your family, friends, neighbors, church group, co-workers, and others, Adopt-A-Highway or Adopt-A-Street in Hickory.
• Live Green: Reduce Waste and Recycle!
