More than 2,660 pounds of litter was removed from DeKalb County streets last month.
The trash was collected during the county’s “Great DeKalb Clean-Up,” which was held during weekends in October.

The clean-up was designed to address litter-covered areas, including Buford Highway, Flat Shoals Parkway, Memorial Drive and Covington Highway, public safety director William “Wiz” Miller announced Tuesday.

The clean-up, which included county workers and volunteers, targeted “unsightly debris and illegal road signs,” Miller said. Code enforcement officers also issued more than 120 citations for illegal signs.
