» 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.
