Fort Worth aims to be "super clean" for Super Bowl XLV

Fort Worth residents have a unique opportunity to participate in Super Bowl XLV.

No, your commitment won't earn you a ticket to the big game, but it'll sure give you bragging rights as the cleanest city to ever host the game.

Fort Worth is doing its part by building new roads and installing new pedestrian lights. Now it's your turn.

"We're asking these guys to pitch in and be part of the effort to make sure that when our visitors come here and when they see Fort Worth for the first time, they see a city that's inviting, that's clean," said city spokesman Bill Begley.

Super Clean 2011 is Fort Worth's newest campaign aimed at getting 20 groups to adopt a street, park, spot or median.

"It's no secret that we've had some challenges with the budget, so volunteerism is an important part of trying to make sure that we maintain the quality of life we enjoy here in Fort Worth," Begley said.

Individuals or groups who adopt are expected to pick up debris and clean their area at least once every three months. Begley said the clean-up effort includes all of Fort Worth.

"We want to put our best foot forward everywhere — not just downtown; not just the high-impact areas," he said.

As an added incentive, the city is giving away free trash bags for groups willing to clean up before February 6. Individuals, groups, corporations or non-profit agencies can enroll in Super Clean 2011
