DECATUR- Keep DeKalb Beautiful (KDB) and MARTA have teamed up to clean up bus stops around DeKalb County. The program is the first of its kind in DeKalb and will offer residents and community organizations the opportunity to Adopt -A- MARTA Bus Stop–keeping it free and clear of litter.

“This is a great opportunity for our residents to get involved right in their own community,” said Amber Greer-Weaver, Director of Keep DeKalb Beautiful. “Keep DeKalb Beautiful is very proud to have this partnership with MARTA and we know that this program will add to current initiatives we have in place to keep DeKalb litter free.”

Participants may sign up through KDB. A sign will be posted on each bus stop to recognize communities or groups that have dedicated their time to keep their adopted bus stop clean. KDB will sponsor supplies for volunteers to help maintain their MARTA bus stop(s), but volunteers must commit to organizing cleanup campaigns or beautification projects at least once a month or as needed.  Bus stops have already been adopted by the Eastlake South Community and the Heimel Family.
