Programs
“Adopt-A” Programs
Adopt-A-Highway, Adopt-A-Shore, Adopt-A-Road, Adopt-A-Street, Adopt-A-Fishing Line Bin. Groups/individuals “adopt” these areas for a period of two years and perform a minimum of four cleanups per year.
Community Education Programs
KIRB provides education programs for the community about litter reduction and prevention through presentations at schools, other community functions and exhibits. In the schools we use our mascot Garbby in an effort to help students develop “good” behavior/habits in being responsible stewards of their community.
Clean Boater Program
The Clean Boater Program is promoted to boaters and fishermen at such functions as fishing tournaments, boat shows, fishing clubs, etc., to promote responsibility of fishermen and boaters with their litter, recyclables and fishing line.
Reuse/Exchange Center
Keeping in line with the 4R’s education (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Rethink) and diverting items from the landfill, we have a branch at our facility that gathers used materials for reuse for craft, school, and other projects. These materials include egg cartons, silk flowers, craft supplies, business supplies, coffee cans, fabric, calendars, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, etc. Residents save these used materials, rather than throw them away, and bring them to our Reuse/Exchange Center. Volunteers then sort the materials and arrange them so that the public can “shop” for items they can reuse/exchange.
MRRP (Monofilament Recovery & Recycling Program)
The Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program of Indian River County is dedicated to recycling monofilament fishing line. MRRP has placed more than thirty white PVC recycling bins at boat ramps, piers and beach accesses throughout the county where fishermen and beachgoers can discard fishing line. The line is then collected by a volunteer and dropped off at a local tackle shop. The shop then mails the line to the Berkley Pure Fishing Company, which uses the line to make fish habitats, tackle boxes and toys.
CLPP (Cigarette Litter Prevention Program)
Adopt-A-Highway, Adopt-A-Shore, Adopt-A-Road, Adopt-A-Street, Adopt-A-Fishing Line Bin. Groups/individuals “adopt” these areas for a period of two years and perform a minimum of four cleanups per year.
