Keep Lincoln Beautiful presents 2024 accomplishments to commissioners
Summary
Keep Lincoln Beautiful outlined 2024 volunteer efforts, partnerships and measured outcomes — reporting 630 roadside hours and 905 bags collected countywide — and described an expanded plastic‑film recycling program for 2025.
Kyle, chair of Keep Lincoln Beautiful, gave the organization's annual report in executive director Jenna Harmon’s absence and summarized 2024 work across schools, cleanup events and partnerships.
Kyle said the affiliate worked with groups including Lake Norman Rotary and local beautification committees on projects at Denver Christian Academy, Catawba Springs Elementary and East Lincoln Community Center, and highlighted roadside cleanups and the annual South Fork River cleanup. He reported that from Jan. 1, 2024 to Dec. 31, 2024 the group logged 630 roadside hours and collected 905 bags of litter; other efforts included median and curb cleanups and expanded recycling partnerships, including two new plastic‑film collection containers that yielded 229 pounds last year.
Kyle thanked volunteers and funders, noted Keep Lincoln Beautiful’s affiliate status with Keep America Beautiful and said the group will expand convenience‑site recycling nights in 2025.
What happens next: The group will roll out additional recycling containers and continue volunteer cleanups; commissioners thanked volunteers and said the county appreciates the partnership.
