Earth Angel

Knock Out Litter is the slogan for the city’s award-winning litter control program, developed to address a top priority identified by the Hot Springs Board of Directors. The key components of this successful program include: full-time litter crew targeting major roadways throughout Hot Springs, educational programs to build community awareness and elicit public support, and intensified enforcement of existing litter laws

You can help by using the Solid Waste Department services to dispose of litter, participate in clean-ups and by reporting those who litter. To report litterers, call the city’s 24-hour action line at 321-6808 or report it online with the following information: make, model, color, license plate, location and type of littering. A courtesy letter will be sent by the police department, reminding the individual of current litter laws and asking them to help keep Hot Springs beautiful.
