Boone County Public Works - Litter Abatement, Community Pride

The Solid Waste Division of the Boone County Public Works Department handles every aspect of solid waste management including recycling, landfill issues, litter abatement, and the elimination of illegal dumping. We organize roadside litter cleanups, community cleanups (such as Great American Cleanup and River Sweep), prosecute people who dump their garbage illegally, educate folks about environmental issues, help residents dispose of wastes properly and educate everyone, infant to adult, about the impact of their trash.  We help to inspire community pride and coordinate all that we can to create a cleaner environment including several citizen involvement programs such as our Pride Posse, Litterbug Spotters and Trash for Cash roadside cleanups.
