Keep Leon County Beautiful: Don’t Litter!
Â
Litter impacts more than just the appearance of our community; it impacts our parks, roads, waterways, and overall environment. Leon County encourages everyone to do their part to keep our community clean and beautiful. Whether you’re at a park, on the road, or in your own neighborhood, please take a moment to properly dispose of trash and recyclables. Even the smallest actions, like holding on to litter until you find a bin, make a big difference.
To report excessive litter, please submit a service request using the Leon County Citizens Connect app at LeonCountyFL.gov/Download.
