During a recent government meeting, officials outlined two key initiatives aimed at enhancing the cleanliness and accessibility of public spaces in the community.

The first goal focuses on promoting regular cleanup initiatives in open spaces and recreational areas. This initiative aims to organize and support community cleanup events, particularly in parks, conservation lands, trails, and recreational spaces. Local organizations, schools, and volunteer groups will be engaged to ensure consistent maintenance of these areas, with a particular emphasis on keeping waterways clean. The rationale behind this goal is to align with the town's broader environmental enhancement plan, making public spaces more enjoyable and accessible for all residents.

The second goal emphasizes the installation of adequate waste disposal facilities in public spaces. This includes ensuring that sites are equipped with sufficient trash bins and recycling stations. Additionally, public awareness campaigns on litter prevention will be launched, promoting the idea of \"carry in, carry out\" to encourage responsible waste management among visitors.

Concerns were raised during the meeting about the increasing amount of trash near local waterways, particularly around Haws Brook and Indian Park. Officials noted that litter in these areas could potentially end up in the waterways, highlighting the urgent need for these initiatives to protect the environment and improve the community's recreational spaces.
