A new non-profit civic group just recently formed that hopes to do a clean sweep of the small community of Knippa and keep the town looking beautiful and trash free.
The group is called Keep Knippa Beautiful and volunteers from the group mobilized last Saturday morning, October 10th on Avenue C located between the Knippa Volunteer Fire Department Station and the Uvalde County Farmer’s Coop.
Several Uvalde County officials were on hand for the cleanup effort, overseeing the many trucks and trailers filled with household trash as well as scrap metal and old furniture, appliances, and a variety of junk items. A large tractor with the shovel was used to scoop up trash and junk as well as assist the many hands removing items from the bed of pickup trucks and trailers into two large collection bins.
Last weekend, the county held a similar clean-up event in Sabinal where residents there had a chance to get rid of trash and junk at no cost.
The following is posted on the group’s Facebook Page:
“To empower residents to take pride in our town by engaging in various initiatives to facilitate cleanliness, beautification, and community involvement”
