🎉🏆 KLVB Trash Pickup Challenge Champions! 🏆🎉
Our recent City-Wide Trash Pickup Day was a huge success — our BIGGEST turnout ever with over 100 amazing volunteers hitting the streets to clean up our community! 🌎💪
To spark a little friendly competition, we challenged participating groups to collect as much litter as possible. The prize? A rotating trophy and bragging rights until our next event! 😄
We're thrilled to announce that the very first KLVB Trash Pickup Champion Award goes to...
🥇 Lago Vista High School! 🥇
Led by the incredible Ms. Heather Koenning, this powerhouse group included over 40 students — the Valkyries Dance Team, National Honor Society members, and her passionate classroom students. Together, they made a HUGE impact on keeping Lago Vista beautiful!
👏 Thank you to everyone who came out and made a difference. We can't wait to see who will rise to the challenge next time!

Sorry I have not received any photos from the Lions Club so I am unable to share their great volunteers at this time. I hope I have not missed any photos of any groups but If I have I will post again. I am just sharing a few of the trucks full of the litter that was picked up.

La Primavera Bike Race Litter Pick Up
Join Keep Lago Vista Beautiful in Making a Difference
LA PRIMAVERA race is February 28th-March 2nd. I just received this email from the President of KLVB.
I hope you all have a chance to drive down Boggy Ford, especially if it is something you do regularly. I had the pleasure of doing so yesterday at around 11:30 after our crew picked up litter for La Primavera. It was immaculate! With the change in date, the pickup crew was15 instead of 30 strong, but we got it done! The city was also out preparing the course. Thank you to all who came and worked! The total bag count was 26 large, 8 medium, and 1 small. The treasure trove included metal pipes, a tire, pvc piping, styrofoam sheeting, plastic sheeting, wire, scrap metal, and plastic fencing as well as the usual bottles, cans, and wrappers. I am sending a picture of the partial crew.

How You Can Help
What can you do to help?
Law enforcement officials need your help in fighting environmental crime. Citizens may help prevent illegal dumping by doing the following:
- Always dispose of your own litter and trash appropriately, and encourage others to do the same.
- Do not transport unsecured debris in the back of a vehicle, always use a tarp or other cover.
- Spread the word to friends, neighbors, and other citizens that illegal dumping is a crime.
- Organize volunteer cleanups of illegal dump sites. People are less likely to dump in clean areas.
- Write or call your local or county elected officials and let them know that illegal dumping is a concern in your community.
How do you report an illegal dump site?
Call the Report Illegal Dumping Hotline at 888-335-DUMP, or submit a report at www.reportDFWdumping.org

LITTER FACTS:
Approximately 435 million pieces of visible litter accumulate on Texas roadways each year.
One of the most common pieces of litter is paper products. A considerable amount of paper litter in Lago Vista comes from recycle cart spillage during collection. Our recycle material is not bagged like our trash. When the carts are picked up lightweight loose pieces can fall out and are carried by the wind to litter our streets and roads. Overfilling recycle carts is a common cause of spills. Cart lids should be tightly closed as shown above. Other ways to avoid spillage is to avoid putting separate small pieces of paper into the cart. Put small pieces of paper in recycled envelops. Break down cardboard boxes. Put shredded paper in paper bags. Finally, check the area and pick up and spilled items. If we all accept the Lago Litter Challenge we can reduce unsightly litter and Keep Lago Vista Beautiful.
If every person in Texas picked up just two pieces of trash every month, our streets and highways would be completely litter-free in just one year!!
