Litter on the sides of Northwest Florida streets seems to be an endemic problem, but Escambia County is turning to Keep Pensacola Beautiful to help clean up county roads.
The Escambia County Commission on Thursday approved paying Keep Pensacola Beautiful $29,000 to operate two work crews, four days a week, to clean up roads throughout the county.
Escambia County uses inmate labor from its county jail to clean up litter, but the county has a shortage of qualified inmates to keep up with the amount of litter on the roads.
While Escambia County s jail is nearly filled to capacity, most of the inmates can t be put on road crews, Escambia County Corrections Director Rich Powell told the commission Thursday.
