ROCK SPRINGS — Litter, graffiti and illegal dumping destroy the beauty of our communities.
That’s why Downtown Rock Springs/Urban Renewal Agency and Rock Springs Mayor Tim Kaumo are announcing the “Take 10 On Tuesdays” initiative to help maintain the efforts made during the city-wide clean up this spring.
This new city-wide initiative is aimed at maintaining the cleanliness of Rock Springs by encouraging all residents and businesses to take 10 minutes every Tuesday to clean dirt, debris, and trash from around their homes, businesses, in nearby vacant lots, and alleys.
“If you see trash on the sidewalk while you’re on your way to lunch, don’t walk by it,” Mayor Kaumo advises. “Please pick it up, even if it isn’t yours, this helps improve our entire community.”
Everyone can find a spot in town to focus on for a few minutes on Tuesdays, said Marketing Coordinator Trina Brittain.
“The tourism season is underway in Sweetwater County. If residents keep our community tidy, it will leave a positive impression on those who are traveling through, first impressions mean a lot in obtaining return visitors to our community,” Brittain said.
“Joining together as a community and simply taking ten minutes out of your day to clean up will display the pride that we have for our community while making it vibrant and welcoming to all,” added Kaumo.
