Two $25 prizes dangers of litter and how it affects our air, water, and soil quality. KALB staff love to speak with students, clubs, or other groups – just invite us! However, we also want that education to turn into action. We hope that by learning the effects of littering, people will think twice before tossing their trash. Sadly, there are still many people who do not respect the environment and continue to litter our waterways, streets, and public lands.

As an encouragement to get residents of Athens and Limestone County to clean up the litter that is out there, KALB is offering $1,000 in cash prizes for picking up trash.
