Safe, Clean, and Green
OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE: BEAUTIFUL CLEAN STREETS.
Let's face it, streets, sidewalks and our town gets dirty. Volunteers of Safe, Clean, and Green help clean up that dirt and keep our quaint town looking great. Traditionally on a Sunday early afternoon, a group of volunteers go out with gloves, trash bags, brooms and dustpans to tackle the trash that seems to pile up so quickly. It is a direct result of KASD and University student groups, community members, and local organizations that our streets and town keep looking great.
