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.

• Intensified enforcement of existing litter laws.

You can help by using the Solid Waste Department services to dispose of litter; by participating in clean-ups; and by reporting those who litter.

To report litterers, call the city’s 24-hour Action Line, 321-6808, with the following information: make, model, color and license plate; location; and type of littering. A courtesy letter will be sent by the Hot Springs Police Department, reminding the individual of litter laws and asking them to help keep Hot Springs beautiful.
