Want to be a Litter-Gitter? Take the Pledge!

And exactly what is the litter-gitter pledge (it's a tough one)?

Here goes: "I promise to be a good Litter-Gitter." It is that simple. We give you (absolutely no charge) a litter-gitter-pick-up-stick and you agree to keep the block on which you live free of litter and cigarette butts. Just YOUR block!

We want you to just be on the lookout on your block. If you see a piece of litter - including the ever present cigarette butt - and before any build-up occurs - grab your litter-gitter and pick it up. With the stick you don't have to bend over and you don't have to touch it! Just put it in a plastic bag and put it out with your regular household trash. The city has agreed to pick up all bagged litter that you put out on your regular pickup day. Same goes for folks living in the county. Make sure you secure the litter in a plastic bag and put it out with your regular household garbage.

Remember, one person can't keep the whole county clean, but each person can keep their own little area picked up. Call me! I'll help you get involved, and I will even help you clean your block the first time. Richard Cobb - 523-7902. I'll deliver your free Litter-Gitter stick! Together - we will accomplish anything we can imagine.
