Take Pride, Ohio! / Take Pride, Mansfield!

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention selected six communities in Ohio as "pilot" programs. The Objective is to "pilot" litter prevention awareness and education strategies to bring about community revitalization, raise the level of community pride and establish sustainable litter prevention programs.

In 2001, the Mansfield Litter Prevention and Recycling Program was chosen as one of the six pilot communities to design the new Statewide Litter Prevention Program and has received $10,000 to assist in the development of the program. As a pilot community, we have given the responsibility to plan and implement a pilot litter prevention program. The program carries the logo and slogan of the Division of Recycling & Litter Prevention's newly created program  Take Pride, Ohio!

The City of Mansfield, businesses, leaders and residents already exemplify the Take Pride, Ohio! Program. This is demonstrated by the continued commitment we have had for programs in the past.

A steering committee was formed and has met since the end of February 2001. Members of the steering committee assisted with the unveiling of the State's New Litter Mascot - "Lucky" the Ladybug on April 27th. On May 4th and 5th the City officially kicked off the Take Pride, Mansfield! Program with a litter clean up, at North Lake Park, a section of the target area.

If you would like to serve on the steering committee or become a business partner in the Take Pride, Mansfield! Program - please call the Mansfield Litter Prevention & Recycling at 419-755-9699 or e-mail us.
