The Keep Arkansas Beautiful Commission announced Thursday that businesses in over 100 Arkansas towns have joined Eats & Clean Streets, a statewide initiative that Colbie Jones, director of KAB, describes as a way to “educate [Arkansas’] business community and its patrons about litter prevention and recycling.”
The initiative is open to all establishments that provide to-go or packaged food, including restaurants, gas stations and convenience stores.
Recent additions to the program include:
- Pennington’s Garage in Rosston
- Arkadelphia Alliance and Chamber
- “Your Family Comes Here” in Rison
- Amboy Neighborhood Association in North Little Rock
- Horseshoe Bend City Hall
- Charleston Chamber & Economic Development
Since the initiative’s inception in November 2022, 113 individual businesses, chambers of commerce, city representatives and more have joined. An estimated 580 locations pledging to promote litter prevention and recycling have been established.
The Eats & Clean Streets initiative aims to reduce the amount of littered food packaging items by providing businesses in the food services and hospitality industry with free signage, encouraging guests not to litter at their businesses or in the state.
