City launches ‘Keep Maricopa Beautiful’ campaign after trash complaints
by Katie Sawyer| Maricopa Monitor

A new “Keep Maricopa Beautiful” campaign was launched by city officials this month in an effort to help combat trash and dumping within the city while also providing new opportunities for volunteers.
The program was started, in part, to put a stop to common litter areas outside local businesses.
“We started noticing that there was an overflow of trash happening in some of our business areas and we’re like, ‘We’re Maricopa, we’re beautiful, and we should do everything in our part to maintain it that way,’” said organizer Judy Ramos, neighborhood services manager for the city of Maricopa.
