The Jefferson County Mayors’ Association is attempting to raise funds for an anti-litter campaign that would involve every municipality in the county.  The quaintly named “Pick It Up Ya’ll” campaign will encourage neighborhood residents to work to reduce litter and will include such larger community projects as repainting homes or businesses and towing away abandoned vehicles. A series of television ads will push the “Pick It Up Ya’ll” message and inform residents about neighborhood clean-up events. “Although we are still in the fundraising stage, we are confident that we will be officially launching this campaign late this summer,” Kenny Clemons, executive director of the Mayors’ Association, said in a press release this week. Members of the association were scheduled to pitch the campaign to potential corporate supporters on May 14 at 11 a.m. at Brock’s Restaurant, located at Hoover’s Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa. The campaign is seen as a way to increase the level of cooperation among the many municipalities in the Birmingham-Hoover metro area. “Although we all talk regularly at association meetings, this campaign will give us the opportunity to deepen our relationships with leaders in neighboring cities,” Hoover Mayor Tony Petelos said in the release. “We hope that ‘Pick It Up Ya’ll’ will be the first of many efforts that allow us to combine our resources to improve the entire region.”
