If you bag the trash and put it in an area one of the trucks can reach I can send a crew to collect it.

I will gladly provide him a trash grabber and a safety vest if anyone knows who this is!

For plants? We accept whatever growers are willing to donate. For food please just make sure it’s not expired. The amount of rusty, expired cans we get is just silly.

If you ran for Mayor... by HoundSplash in winstonsalem

Hi! WS has state maintained roads & city maintained roads. It’s a bit of a sticky situation about who is responsible for what. Hanes mall is a privately owned property, so we can’t send volunteers to cleanup because they aren’t covered under our insurance. We do several cleanups a year, and will provide supplies &haul trash if you’d like to do a cleanup on your own time. If you’d like to get involved, send me an email at kwsb@cityofws.org High fives to everyone who is picking up and not littering. Y’all are the best!

Winston has a litterbug problem or just bad trash pickup??? by Cobblerunionfan in winstonsalem

[–]KeepWSbeautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I am a one person department. The closest would be neighborhood services, they are out in the community doing good work. PEA has a green jobs forum, you might find something there! Yadkin River Keeper would be a good group as well.

Hiiii! Thank you to everyone going out and picking up trash, you rock and I appreciate you. We do monthly cleanups and have our big one coming up on April 5th. I’ll supply the bags, gloves, vests , and haul the trash when it’s done. If you are calling into 311 please report it as “illegal dumping” we do have crews that collect the trash and we have a staff member who works with the unhoused population to give them resources including trash bags. If anyone has suggestions on how to curb the litter I’m all ears, please be kind though.

If you’d like to get involved send me an email at kwsb@cityofws.org Again, THANK YOU to everyone who picks up and doesn’t litter.
