(CFK) continues to be actively involved in solid waste management and recycling in Monroe County. For the past several years our community service programs, especially the Adopt-a-Shore program, have been an important strategy for informing Monroe County residents about solid waste prevention and for organizing regular cleanup campaigns throughout the Florida Keys. The objectives of our organization set forth in our Articles of Incorporation, parallel those of Monroe County as outlined in Florida's Solid Waste Management Act of 1988. The objectives of Clean Florida Keys, Inc. are: .

To encourage the planting and preservation of trees, native plants and wildflowers in Monroe County . To make recommendations to various local government departments for the beautification and general improvement of the environment of Monroe County . To implement and maintain the Keep America Beautiful, Inc. System in Monroe County Since 1992-1993 Clean Florida Keys has: . Carried out litter prevention and cleanup campaigns throughout Monroe County, Florida resulting in the annual donation of thousands of hours of time from approximately 400 dedicated volunteers. This year's Great American, Florida, Monroe County Cleanup held on Saturday, April 22, 2000 was very successful attracting 448 volunteers from 32 groups who cleared 71,000 pounds of trash and debris from Monroe County (see attached report). . Vigorously developed the Adopt-a-Shore Program in Monroe County so that it is one of the largest in the state of Florida with nearly 40 active groups. The Adopt-A-Shore program mission is to enlist the assistance of volunteer groups to keep selected areas clean and litter free by conducting at least three organized cleanups annually, To accomplish this, Clean Florida Keys plans and carries out: . communications with volunteer group coordinators (updates by letter, phone, email and Home Page) . ongoing recruitment of new volunteers and groups (encourage community participation in litter prevention) . media campaigns to promote cleanups (radio & TV interviews and public service announcements) . delivery of information and materials to cleanup groups ((safety tips, data sheets, bags, gloves, etc.).
