Highway 179, Sedona AZ
Litter Lifters are those Sedona citizens who volunteer to remove litter from our roadsides. Upon reflection, it may seem a small matter compared to personal issues or the national and global picture. Or it might just go unnoticed. However, the absence of litter on our roads is meaningful. It shows we care and take pride in this place. We believe visitors are more likely to return to a clean environment.
Keep Sedona Beautiful currently manages over 125 volunteer Litter Lifters, covering almost 50 miles of roadway. A significant number have served the community for many years and in a few cases, over 20 years.
Because we favor less sign clutter on our roadways, you may not know that KSB Litter Lifters cover the entire length of SR 179, including, as you know, some very challenging segments. They also cover many miles of SR 89A to the west and north of Sedona. Only a single sign at each end identifies Keep Sedona Beautiful.
Our dedicated KSB Litter Lifters need everyone’s help, either on a regular or temporary basis. We provide all the tools; you get all the good feelings from a worthy contribution to our community. By the way, when you see a Litter Lifter, give a honk and wave to those tenacious folks wearing the bright orange vests, true heroes among us.
