The Clean Up Columbia Program was a Success

The Clean Up Columbia program, launched in early April to coincide with Litter Awareness Month, emphasized the value of collaboration, education, and proactive measures to build a cleaner, more sustainable environment for all citizens. The City urged residents of all ages to take more responsibility for their shared places through cleanup events and litter awareness initiatives. As part of the program, the City collaborated with local organizations Keep Maury Beautiful and the Triple C’s (Columbia Community Clean-Up Team) to organize two clean-up events. Volunteers gathered in East Columbia on April 12th and in Columbia’s Arts District on April 26th. With all required tools given, participants collected approximately 75 bags of trash from Columbia’s streets, leaving a tangible impact. This was a great program for the community of Columbia and exceeded expectations!
