CUERO, Texas — Armed with gloves, determination, and a few ingenious tools, members of Keep Cuero Beautiful (KCB) rolled up their sleeves Saturday morning for a park cleanup that left both the landscape and local spirits refreshed.
In just a few hours, volunteers collected an impressive 17.6 pounds of litter from Cuero Municipal Park—including aluminum cans, plastic bottles, paper scraps, plastic straws, empty whiskey bottles, and hundreds of discarded cigarette butts.
“Every piece picked up is one less pollutant in our watershed and one step closer to a cleaner, greener Cuero,” a KCB spokesperson said.
Cleaner Tools, Greener Results
The successful sweep was made even smoother thanks to Garbo Grabbers, lightweight trash pickers acquired through a grant from Keep America Beautiful (KAB). The new tools made quick work of hard-to-reach or hazardous trash while preventing strain and injury for volunteers.
Growing Pride in Public Spaces
The cleanup reflects KCB’s broader mission to promote environmental stewardship and civic pride in the Cuero community. From beautification projects to education initiatives, the group remains a cornerstone of local sustainability efforts.
Residents are encouraged to support or join future efforts by connecting with KCB through their website or social media platforms. As this weekend’s work proves, even a single morning of service can transform a park—and inspire a community.
Thanks, KCB. Cuero shines brighter because of you. (1) Facebook
