School Litter Abatement Program

Keep Atlanta Beautiful is seeking partners and sponsors to provide litter receptacles at all city schools. In April, Inman Middle School will receive a receptacle donated by the Virginia Highlands Neighborhood Association. As other sponsors emerge, more schools will receive the receptacles.

Keep Atlanta Beautiful recognizes that trash receptacles alone will not assure litter-free campuses. Sustaining a clean environment requires attitude change. KAtlB, therefore, plans to design a high school-level litter and recycling education component to its city-wide program.



Here Peggy Denby, Excecutive Director of KAtlB, thanks those partnering with KAtlB in this project: Mary Norwood, Atlanta City Council; the vice-president and president of Grady’s student government; Nelson Jeter of Georgia Power; David Scott, Commissioner of Public Works; Anne Fauver, Atlanta City Council; Aaron Turpeau, president of KAtlB; James Witherspoon, of Public Works; Kathleen Bertrand, KAtlB board member and Grady parent; and president of Grady Senior Class.
