Alton Beautification and Clean City Committee Chairwoman Carolyn MacAfee said, “Despite a rainy day, I am pleased the community united to fight against litter. Litter makes our City look unhealthy and unsafe. I am pleased to see individuals and organizations take part in the litter cleanups and I hope these individuals and organizations will adopt areas around town to keep them litter free.”
The Alton Beautification and Clean City Committee organizes the spring and fall litter cleanups. The Committee meets the first Thursday of each month, at 3:30 P.M., at Haskell House.
