Disgusting Litter Bugs have been at it again, spoiling the beauty of Southwest Alabama by treating its highways and byways like trash cans. 

The Thomasville Chamber of Commerce hopes to recruit Litter Getters to combat the litter scourge and restore community pride.

The Chamber will be handing out garbage bags at the Community Garden located in downtown Thomasville, on Saturday, April 24, beginning at 8 a.m. The first 25 Litter Getters will get a free Hardee’s breakfast that morning.

Ongoing efforts will include the reinstatement of the Thomasville Garden Club.

Lynne Slade, Chamber of Commerce secretary, is spearheading the beautification endeavors. “We want to renew our commitment to beautify the city and hope to inspire others to do the same. We need community involvement to make a sustainable difference,” explained Slade.

The Garden Club, consisting of a diverse cross section of the community, will be awarding a Yard of the Month and encouraging maintenance of the Thomasville community garden, residential homes, and neighborhoods.

Community Garden spots are still available and may be reserved by contacting Lynne at the Chamber of Commerce at (334) 636-1542.
