PRIDE

PRIDE unites citizens with the resources of federal, state and local governments in order to:

1. Improve water quality in the region.
2. Clean up illegal trash dumps and other solid waste problems.
3. Promote environmental awareness and education.

The first two goals are aimed at cleaning up the existing problems created by the region's two primary pollution sources: dumping trash illegally and discharging raw sewage through straight pipes or failing septic systems. The third goal addresses the need to break the cycle of pollution.

Eastern Kentucky PRIDE, Inc., a nonprofit organization, coordinates the initiative and operates grant programs to fund local efforts to accomplish the PRIDE goals. Volunteers, schools, local governments and nonprofit organizations do the work.

Spring is PRIDE Clean-up Month

Each year, PRIDE designates a two-week period for a region-wide Spring Cleanup. PRIDE Coordinators organize cleanup events in their communities and mobilize volunteers to clean illegal dumps, roadsides and waterways. PRIDE provides gloves, safety vests and T-shirts for the volunteers.

October is Roadside PRIDE Month!

Since 2003, PRIDE has sponsored this friendly competition among the region's cities and counties to recruit volunteers and pick up trash along roadways.  Cities and counties compete within population-based classes. They earn points for the number of volunteers and volunteer hours worked; the bags of trash, tires and appliances collected; and road miles cleaned during October.

Roadside PRIDE Awards will be presented to the top cities and counties in each class. In addition, the TOUR Southern and Eastern Kentucky (TOUR SEKY) awards $1,000 to the city and county that clean the most road miles within a Scenic Byway.

PRIDE provides cleanup supplies to cities and counties.
