As part of the Trash for Cash Agreement, each group is required to write a letter to describe the experience with picking-up roadside littered trash. This letter is intended to spread the word about litter to our neighbors and to educate the public about the problems litter creates. Your letter may be published in the Kenton County Recorder or other reputable news source.

Please keep the following guidelines in mind when you write this letter:

1. Talk about your experience. How did you organize your cleanup? What did you find? Did anything surprise you? What conversations did the experience generate about litter in our community?

2. Share your thoughts about litter. What was it like to pick up other people’s trash? What did you learn? What would you like to tell your neighbors about how litter affects our community?

3. Please do NOT thank Kenton County Solid Waste. The purpose of this letter is to spread the word about why litter is gross, not to promote our organization.

4. To print your letter, the Recorder has a 200 word limit and asks that you include your name, your address, your community, and your daytime phone number.

Check "Yes" if you agree to publishing your letter to a news source or "No" if you prefer it not published.*

Yes
No

You can submit letters by email (letters@enquirer.com) or online:

You must send a copy of the letter to Kenton County Solid Waste, either by email Melissa.grandstaff@kentoncounty.org or mail: 420 Independence Station Road, Independence, KY, 41051 (Attention: Melissa Grandstaff).

If you would like, you may write your letter to another publication – the Kentucky Enquirer, a church newsletter, a school handout – but you must first get approval from Kenton County Solid Waste.

You have two weeks from the date of your cleanup to send in your letter. If you need more time, please let contact Melissa Grandstaff at 859-392-1919 or by email (Melissa.Grandstaff@kentoncounty.org)

By checking the "I agree" box below, you agree and acknowledge that: 1) your application will be submitted and considered without your handwritten signature; 2) that you are consenting to an electronic signature, which is the same as your handwritten signature for the purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility; 3) that in lieu of an electronic signature, you may contact Kenton County Public Works for a printable version of the application and submit it using your handwritten signature using either USPS or another delivery or courier service; 4), that your submitted application will be made available to you upon written request subject to applicable record retention guidelines.*
