Mr. James Roberts
Monroe County Administrator

Key West, FL 33040
Dear Mr. Roberts:
Clean Florida Keys, Inc. (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 carry out projects in the public interest for the general improvement of the environment by initiating, planning,
directing and coordinating programs for litter control in Monroe County
· To promote the development of plans for improving the health, sanitation, safety and cleanliness of Monroe County
· 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.).

· Actively promoted beautification efforts throughout Monroe County. Recent efforts include:
· Partnering with the Florida State Parks to assist with re-planting of native plants at Bahia Honda State Park
· Planting native wildflowers and plants on Sugarloaf Key
· Developing plans to conduct Phase II of the Parade of Palms in Key West (2001-2002)
· Utilizing the Adopt-A-Shore program of Keep Florida Beautiful as a base for the City of Key West's
Adopt-An-Area cleanup and beautification program
· Assisting with administration of the Florida Keys Scenic Highway Corridor Advocacy Group (a citizen-based,
volunteer group) working on the FOOT program to have US 1 from Key Largo to Key West designated as a state
scenic highway
· Partnering with Monroe County, FOOT, FDEP and other groups to initiate plans for a bicycle and pedestrian trail
along US 1-Key Largo to Key West
Utilizing a cost benefits analysis from Keep America Beautiful, Inc., Clean Florida Keys returns $9 to $10 in services for
every dollar allocated through grants to carry out litter prevention, cleanups and beautification efforts. In order for Clean
Florida Keys to maintain and expand the countywide litter prevention and cleanup services mentioned, we request the use
of the 2000-2001 state litter grant funds. A copy of our 2000-2001 budget is enclosed for your review. Clean Florida Keys
looks forward to continued partnership with Monroe County on programs that help to fulfill its solid waste objectives for a
cleaner, more beautiful Florida Keys.
Sincerely,
~M~
