Operation Beautification
Final Totals

Operation Beautification is the newest cleanup program to help combat litter throughout our local community.

Always looking for outside-the-box solutions to solve complex issues, Operation Beautification allowed the Chamber to partner with the Pulaski County Solid Waste Department and their “Litter Abatement Program” to offer paid cleanup opportunities to local school clubs and civic minded organizations.
