- The Town of Kilmarnock has received $1,000 from Keep Virginia Beautiful as part of the organization's annual "30 Grants in Thirty Days" grant program. Kilmarnock will use the money at Town Centre Park for cigarette litter prevention. The town writes on the website,
The "Don’t Be a Butt" litter campaign is designed to give patrons of Town Centre Park cigarette butt receptacles as an alternative to throwing the butts on the ground. We will have small signs attached to the receptacles that will instruct visitors where to deposit their cigarette butts, and deter littering. Today our designated smoking area is under the Pavilion but cigarette butts have been found in all areas of the Park. We are especially concerned that children are not exposed to second hand smoke in the River Play and Waterworks area. Additionally, we want to reduce fire hazards by having the designated area away from large mulched areas like the play areas.
