Every month the Keep Downey Beautiful community gets together for an hour to clean up the litter around the city and during the One Day of Service they do a bunch of different things such as planting trees. Recycling Coordinator of Keep Downey Beautiful, Carol A. Rowland, notices that the people who participate in cleanup days are more conscious about littering. Everywhere you go, there's always trash thrown on the ground around parking lots, streets, and they never get picked up unless someone takes charge, "People are so absorbed," Rowland stated. "They litter and they do things unconsciously thinking that someone is gonna be responsible."
