AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin is well-known for caring about their community and the environment. With the holiday season coming to a close, locals gathered together to clean up the left-over decorations on trees along Loop 360.

Keep Austin Beautiful met with volunteers to clean up decorations between Bee Cave Rd and Hwy 183 on Loop 360.

The goal of the event was to keep the roadways safe and maintain the health and cleanliness of the trees. The group was also concerned about wildlife mistaking the ornaments for food near Bull Creek since items often can wash into the creek.
