Fort Worth is on a mission to tackle litter head-on and city officials are enlisting the help of residents. Keep Fort Worth Beautiful has rolled out its 20250 Community Litter Survey, urging locals to weigh in on various aspects of the litter problem. The survey, designed to take just five to 10 minutes, encompasses litter source control, cleanups, environmental education, and more. The public's perspective is critical in shaping future initiatives and priorities in the fight against trash.
In an initiative announced by the City of Fort Worth, they're seeking to crack down on litter with the help of citizen input—especially from those who live and breathe Fort Worth's streets daily. Through a simple online questionnaire, the city aims to gather insights to better manage litter control. The open survey, available until June 30, also comes in Spanish for a broader reach.
But the creativity doesn't stop at survey-taking. Fort Worth is promoting a trifecta of solutions to keep the community litter-free. The strategies include diligent litter prevention, like securing trash properly, reporting unsafe or excessive litter via the MyFW app, or directly to the City Call Center, and picking up the trash, where the city offers free cleanup supplies to volunteers. The call to action doesn't just raise awareness; it serves as a blueprint for residents to reclaim cleanliness in their shared spaces.
For those who've spotted a stray chip bag fluttering down the highway or the aftermath of careless disposal at local parks, action can be taken. Loaded down with trash, Fort Worth's parks and streets can be cleansed by locals armed with the knowledge that city support is just a phone call away or a tap on the MyFW app. Every reported incident helps the city target high-litter zones and supports the ongoing battle against the scourge of refuse.
Questions about participating in the litter fight or the 2024 Community Litter Survey are being fielded by Keep Fort Worth Beautiful. Fort Worth is stepping up its game, and with community support, it isn't just about removing what's been carelessly cast aside—it's about preventing it from hitting the ground in the first place.
