LUCIE BEAUTIFUL To learn more about KPSLB, visit: www.CityofPSL.com/KPSLB » Community Appearance Index Results – The Keep America Beautiful Community Appearance Litter Index is a tool used to visually assess the overall appearance of the various neighborhoods. This is done through indicators such as litter, illegal signs, graffiti, abandoned/junk vehicles and outside storage. The amount of litter in a community is rated on a scale from 1 to 4, with 4 being extremely littered and 1 being minimal to no litter. Port St. Lucie received a 1.4 rating for 2018, which equates to being “slightly littered.” “Slightly littered” is defined as litter that can be removed by 1 or 2 people and may take up to an hour. Last year’s rating was also 1.4. The educational and litter removal programs have truly made a difference in our City and have helped to ensure our City remains clean and beautiful! Eliminating litter in this City is a priority, as our City’s Strategic Plan outlines. KPSLB would like to thank the residents and volunteers who continue to support our efforts in helping keep our City litter free and beautiful.
