The Ministry of Public Works has given $61,000 to KBB in support of its efforts to keep the Island clean.The grant will be used to educate the community on the harmful effects of littering, clean up litter on roads and at illegal dumping sites, and make it more difficult to dump illegally.“KBB works cooperatively with Waste Management, the Department of Parks and the Department of Conservation Services by encouraging proper waste and litter disposal as well as helping to keep our roadsides and parklands pristine and litter-free,” said Public Works Minister Michael Weeks.“KBB’s army of volunteers augments the good work that these departments pursue in clean-up efforts.“In 2011 KBB made a significant impact by supporting clean-ups in 134 locations with volunteers collecting 35.5 tons of litter, recyclables and bulky waste.”The charity launched an Adopt-A-Spot Programme at the end of May, encouraging groups to take responsibility for keeping their locations clean and healthy.More than 40 spots have been adopted by schools, companies, individuals and Neighbourhood Watch groups.
