From Bill Hollander: Litter is a pet peeve of mine. People who litter
feel no sense of ownership or pride for the
community. They believe someone else will
remove it or they are too lazy to put trash in its
proper place. When a site is already littered,
those who litter feel adding to it is “no big
deal.”
So what can you do?
Make sure your trash (and that includes cigarette butts) is
securely placed in the proper receptacle.
Carry a litterbag in your vehicle or bicycle.
Report at litterer to MetroCall:
https://louisvilleky.gov/government/metrocall-
311/services/report-litterer. The owner of the vehicle will
receive a letter saying that someone reported seeing litter
being thrown from their vehicle, and reminding the owner that littering is punishable by a fine of up to
$500 and/or up to a year in jail.
When you see litter, pick it up and throw it away. Bring a bag on your walks and fill it up as you
go. You will feel better by improving your neighborhood and you might just make someone who sees
you a little more responsible.
Volunteer for community-wide cleanups. Our next big one near Clifton Heights starts at 8:30 am on
October 24 in Bingham Park on Coral Avenue. We’ll supply bags, gloves and tools. We just need you.
Many of us complain about litter but not enough of us are active in preventing it and cleaning it up. Won’t you

Two Neighborhoods Review the Trash Removal Challenge
Prior to the October 24 Metro Community Cleanup, members of the Pedestrian & Bicycling Access Committee
will be walking both side of Brownsboro Road on Oct. 6, along with some Clifton Heights and Clifton board
members to determine not only trash cleanup needs to be done by volunteers but also grass and weed trimming,
from Ewing Avenue to Kenilworth Road. Currently, board volunteers from Clifton Heights patrol Hite Avenue,
Kenilworth Road, and Drescher Bridge Avenue. Other volunteers are needed for Birchwood and Mount Holly
Roads for the most part beyond the newly installed sidewalk along the cliff.
