The Keep Copperas Cove Beautiful Commission hosted a Donât Mess with Texas Trash-off event at the Copperas Cove City Park on April 10.
At least 260 volunteers, including members of the Copperas Cove Police Department Law Enforcement Explorers, members of the Boy Scouts of America, missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Solid Waste employees, and other community members, gathered to remove trash from the Copperas Cove City Park and several miles along Avenue B.
âThe Keep Copperas Cove Beautiful, KCCB, is an organization that was formed by the city of Copperas Cove,â said Roxanne Flores-Achmad, the executive director of KCCB. âWe go out and educate the community about why itâs important to take care of it, litter prevention, and just enhancing and beautifying the community.â
