MORE
Because of the harsh winter, there is more trash than ever. It has become a huge issue for our city. Our staff has spent the last few months plowing the streets and picking up tree limbs and branches. So now we are simply encouraging the city to help. Kansas City Parks and Recreation Director, Teresa Rynard, challenges everyone, including the Mayor, Council and City Manager to help on this initiative, “It is going to take everyone pitching in to get all this trash and litter cleaned up. If everyone would at least pick up one back of trash, it would make a huge difference.”
DETAILS
Step 1 Take a photo of a park, trail, boulevard or fountain area littered with trash.
