Park Renovation

KMB was awarded a Cigarette Litter Prevent Program grant.  This project is to raise awareness  and let people know that cigarette butts are litter too. Receptacles will be placed at Carter Park, Dotson Park & East Madison Park. 

KMB will distribute 200 portable and 400 pocket ash trays to adult smokers.  This will provide for proper disposal of cigarette butts.

​

All of Bastrop's parks are tobacco free, thanks to the lobbying done by KMB members.
