Tullahoma Director of Public Works, Wayne Limbaugh admits that keeping the litter picked-up is one of his top priorities. His department has been working for the last month making a concerted effort to spring clean the roadways. Public Works ask residents to keep garbage with them and dispose of in a lawful manner.
“In one month, we’ve removed two large piles of garbage from the roadways in Tullahoma,” said Director of Public Works, Wayne Limbaugh.
“In most cases, the act of littering is a conscious decision, and officers are instructed to issue citations,” said Police Chief Paul Blackwell. “The tossing of cigarette butts, throwing out fast food bags, tossing beer bottles from a vehicle is a common occurrence, subject to a $165 fine. You decide.”
“Public Works has picked up over 200 bags of litter in two weeks. Unfortunately, some of these same roadways are being trashed again. I just don’t understand the mindset of some people. It is very disappointing,” said Mayor Lane Curlee. “If you see people littering, please call 1-877-8LITTER and report. I am convinced 99.5% of residents want to live in a clean and attractive community.”
