Litter Ends With Us!

Introducing “Litter Ends with Us”: Grapevine Parks & Recreation’s New Environmental Initiative Promoting Cleaner Communities.

Grapevine Parks & Recreation is excited to announce the launch of its latest program, “Litter Ends with Us!” This innovative social media and department-wide campaign, which began on May 30, is designed to raise awareness among city residents and visitors, inspiring them to take responsibility for maintaining a clean and litter-free environment.

Recognizing the challenges posed by the significant amount of trash during busy holiday weekends, Grapevine Parks & Recreation has taken the lead by implementing a department-wide clean-up initiative in our parks following such events, starting with Memorial Day. We are urging citizens to actively participate in picking up litter whenever they come across it, fostering a positive impact on the cleanliness of our city. The primary goal of this campaign is to spread the message throughout the community and foster a sense of shared responsibility for preserving a pristine environment.

“Our primary objective is to convey the message to our community that if we all take responsibility every day, it will have a significant impact on the cleanliness of the City of Grapevine,” said Chris Smith, Grapevine Parks & Recreation Director.

To encourage active participation, Grapevine Parks & Recreation will be hosting a giveaway of 20 campaign-themed shirts. Participants will be incentivized to pick up litter, capture photos, and tag Grapevine Parks & Recreation in their social media posts. The giveaway will take place throughout the months of June and July.

By utilizing the hashtags #GoGrapevine, #GrapevineTX, and #LitterEndsWithUs, Grapevine Parks & Recreation aims to generate a social media buzz and engage citizens in conversations surrounding environmental responsibility.

In the coming months, Grapevine Parks & Recreation will intensify its social media efforts by posting twice a week, specifically on Tuesdays and Saturdays, accompanied by engaging stories on Mondays and Thursdays. These posts will incorporate research-backed content related to litter, trash, recycling, and other pertinent topics.

To kick off the campaign, Grapevine Parks & Recreation is thrilled to introduce the talented Zack King Band, who have created the theme song for the entire “Litter Ends with Us!” initiative. On Saturday, June 3, a special post will highlight the band’s collaboration and tag them for recognition. Throughout the campaign, Grapevine Parks & Recreation will continue to feature the Zack King Band in various posts, acknowledging their valuable contribution to this community-wide effort.

Grapevine Parks & Recreation invites everyone to join this collective endeavor and take part in preserving the cleanliness and beauty of our community. Together, we can make a lasting difference! Let’s ensure that “Litter Ends with Us!” in Grapevine. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for more fun content!
