 Keep Putnam Beautiful works with residents and businesses to make our area shine. They also work with schools and law enforcement. A new litter awareness campaign has been developed for high schools. It is entitled STOP the DROP.

Residents seeing someone drop litter from a vehicle or trash coming from an uncovered truck are asked to call Sheriff Smith at 225-4300. A letter will be sent by Sheriff Smith to the registered owner of the vehicle.
