Livsey, a South Gwinnett High School graduate, grew up watching his grandfather clean up litter in the Promised Land area. Beginning in November of 2017, he adopted the project as his own in the City of Snellville and the Centerville community.
"It is easy to sit and drive by somewhere and say 'Someone should do something about that,'" said Mayor Pro Tem Barbara Bender. "Sometimes it's got to be you. Thank you Mr. Livsey for everything you do."
His efforts have raised awareness of the ugliness of litter as well as encouraged other local residents to join his clean-up campaign. He has collected more than 220 bags of litter, contributing to the beautification of the City of Snellville and surrounding areas. He was recently named Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful's first Unsung Hero.
"The City Council of the City of Snellville wish to show their heartfelt appreciation to Chad Greene Livsey who has unselfishly given, and continues to give, of his time and leadership talent for his clean-up campaign," the proclamation reads.
