Community Service Program

The Litter Abatement & Beautification Program is a court-approved initiative that allows individuals fulfilling court-ordered community service to contribute positively to their communities. Through supervised litter removal projects, participants engage in community beautification efforts that enhance the aesthetic and health of our service areas. 

Program Goals

Cleaner Communities: Reduce litter and illegal dumping across Shelby County. 

Restorative Justice: Provide meaningful service opportunities for participants to rebuild community trust. 

Public Pride: Improve residents' quality of life by beautifying parks, roadways, and green spaces. 

Accountability: Track and transparently report all service hours completed to the courts. 

Collaboration: Foster partnerships with local government, businesses, and residents to create lasting change.
