Cigarette Litter Awareness Day

Cigarette litter hurts Pearland in numerous ways. To help educate the public Keep Pearland Beautiful is hosting its annual Cigarette Litter Awareness Day in February. At noon volunteers will meet at the Stella Roberts Recycling Center (5800 Magnolia St.) to eat lunch and receive a safety briefing. Volunteers will spend the afternoon picking up cigarette litter along Pearland street intersections. Last year volunteers picked up 7,710 cigarette butts.
