PUT LITTER IN ITS' PLACE-ADOPT A STREET!

Lakeland is inviting volunteer groups or families to assist us in cleaning up Lakeland.

Lakeland has implemented a new Adopt A Street Program to assist in cleaning up roadside litter.  This year, it is anticipated that over 5000 pounds of litter will be collected alongside Lakeland major roads and streets.  This exceeds last year figure of 3468 pounds.  An increase of 44 percent!
