In an effort to enhance environmental health and community engagement, DeKalb County’s Super Districts 7 and 6 have teamed up with the local Beautification Unit to champion ‘The Great American Cleanup.’ This initiative, as detailed on the DeKalb County’s website, invites residents to take a proactive stance in transforming their neighborhoods through recycling, clean-up activities, and adopting sustainable practices.
Commissioners Dr. LaDena Bolton and Ted Terry, along with Beautification Unit’s Director Tracy Hutchinson and Superintendent Ricky Crockett, are encouraging individuals and groups to start recycling programs and choose eco-friendly products.

The organized effort kicked off on March 20 and will run through June 21, with materials and clean-up supplies available for participants.
