Well, you can do something about it.

The City of Arlington is having a Community Litter Challenge.

Compete for a better and cleaner tomorrow!

Litter is an ongoing problem in Arlington.

Who wants to drive through our city and see plastic bags, drink cups, food wrappers and other litter?

You can help!
Give some time and effort to help
Keep Arlington Beautiful

What? City-wide litter challenge.

Who? Any club or organization is eligible. Groups who collect the most trash in their category will be awarded cash prizes.

When? Saturday April 5, 2008.  Registration slips are due by April 3, 2008.

Why? Arlington is our home. Litter attracts more litter. Pick it up today so tomorrow will be litter free.
