Keep Rome Floyd Beautiful

05/26/2026

A friendly reminder from the City of Rome, GA - Government to help keep our roads and waterways clean!

After mowing, please avoid blowing or leaving grass clippings in the road. Clippings can block storm drains, cause neighborhoods to flood, create slippery conditions, and end up polluting local waterways.

Let’s work together to keep our roadways and storm drains clear and clipping-free!

Grass clippings may seem harmless — until they clog a storm drain, contribute to flooding, or create slick road conditions for motorcycles and bicycles. 🌱🚲🏍️

As you mow this summer, please help keep Rome safe and clean by keeping grass clippings and yard debris out of the roadway.

✔ Blow clippings back into your yard
✔ Bag or mulch when possible
✔ Keep storm drains clear

A cleaner street helps protect our waterways, reduces flooding risks, and keeps everyone safer on the road.

Special thanks to Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful for helping us spread the word 💚

We love our parks and trails! Don’t you!?

They give our community a place to support both mental and physical health, reconnect with nature, and enjoy time outdoors.💚

What we don’t love? Litter left along the trails. Fast food bags, trash, and dirty diapers take away from the beauty and safety of these spaces. 😵‍💫

Keeping our trails clean is simple: put waste in its place.

Let’s all do our part to protect and enjoy the amazing trail system we’re lucky to have.
