KMVB is looking for volunteers to participate in a Community Appearance Index.
This is a visual assessment of how much litter is visible in certain areas of our community. Commonly called a “windshield survey,” this survey is designed to be done from the car! You will rank different areas of your community (as many as you’d like) - either Industrial, Retail, Park, School, Library or Residential - on a scale of ‘virtually no litter’ to ‘extremely littered.’
Download our Litter Index Form or email us at info@mvedd.org for more information or to have a copy of the index mailed to you. Then, take your car ride and let us know what you see!
