The intent of the annual countywide cleanup is to create a cleaner county through litter prevention, beautification, and solid waste management. By forming community partnerships, the County hopes to empower individuals to take greater responsibility for enhancing the natural beauty of our community.

Scott County Mayor Jeff Tibbals and the Scott County Board of County Commissioners are making a concentrated effort to get as many citizens as possible involved. Given historic data, up to 500 people will be out on the streets and highways pickup up litter.

This annual event is held in the memory of Vivian Smith, a longtime community activist who spent countless hours working with community leaders and volunteers, especially school children, to impart community pride through litter cleanup and prevention.

Keep Scott County Clean is sponsored by the Scott County Litter Program, Tennessee Department of Transportation, Scott County Mayor Jeff Tibbals, and the Scott County Board of County Commissioners.
