MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) Macon-Bibb County Mayor Lester Miller announced that volunteer groups collected 109,000 pounds of trash during the community cleanup on April 10th.
Mayor Miller says there is still more work to do, and he wants to hold litterbugs accountable. The county plans on installing cameras where illegal dumping happens frequently.
“Maybe they’ll pay some money,” says Mayor Miller. “But my request to that judge on sentencing day is let them spend time on the side of the road picking up trash.”
Caroline Childs, Executive Director for Keep Macon Bibb Beautiful, says the community cleanup was the biggest community cleanup ever. She says there were more than 80 groups and 1,500 volunteers who participated.
