You can still use the Yard-Vac! The Yard - Man Chipper Vac was donated to KSB for use in our GAC projects. If you have a cleanup project that you think the Yard-Vac would help you complete, such as vacuuming small trash, litter, or cigarette litter, then contact us to see if we can arrange for you to borrow the Yard-Vac.

People start pollution littering and waste, people can stop it!

Remember to: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle …

  
A request to businesses and offices.

Have you notice the litter problems in your area? Is there an area on your property or nearby that needs cleaning up, beautification or graffiti removal? Is anyone likely to benefit from a cleanup more than you, your customers and your neighbors?
Please consider being a part of the Great American Cleanup (see above) sponsored by Keep Shelby Beautiful, the Cleveland County Health Department and the Star. All it takes is one day to make a big difference. Please register with KSB so we’ll be able to count your statistics and get roadside trash picked up by the Solid Waste Dept. If you live in the county you’ll need to contact the DOT to get trash picked up as part of the Spring Litter Sweep April 14-28. Thanks! 704-484-6476 for more information.

GRAFFITI HURTS

2004 - A group of KSB volunteers spent several hours painting out graffiti at the former Southern Railway Freight Depot and the back of Shelby Farm & Garden between Market and Morgan Streets near Graham St.

These buildings had been marred by graffiti for several years.

It is believed that by not allowing graffiti to remain in place, vandals will learn that it will not be tolerated.
