On April 22nd, City of Destin staff took a few moments out of their day and collected and hauled away 20 bags filled with cigarette butts, business signs, take out trash, beer bottles/cans, and car parts, in honor of Earth Day. Staff members cleaned the area along U.S. Highway 98 from Big Kahuna’s to Gulf Shore Dr. as well as Matthew Blvd. to Henderson Beach State Park. Deputy City Manager Webb Warren stated, “This is how we effect change and set the example by taking pride in our community and know that we are part of a team that keeps Destin beautiful.” Many thanks to Big Kahunas for supporting the effort and allowing the use of its parking lot as a rally point.
Each month City of Destin staff will be participating in a litter clean-up around city facilities. Through a collaborative effort, we can all make a positive difference in the appearance and health of this great city. The City of Destin would like to thank the Compass Resorts team for being a member of the city’s Adopt-A-Street program and cleaning Beach Drive from U.S. Highway 98 to Legion Dr. on Earth Day.
