2007 First Quarter Hampton Clean Business Award
That God’s house should be respected and bring glory to Him
|
The purpose of the program is to encourage community businesses to maintain their respective premises and surrounding areas in a clean, litter-free, environmentally sound manner. The program also encourages community businesses to participate in recycling of materials. (The city does not require business recycling. Clean, well-maintained businesses attract more customers, decrease overhead costs, make work areas more productive and safe for employees, the public, and give the City of Hampton a more professional look which should result in profit for all of those involved.
The key points of the Clean Business Award are as follows:
- Any and all businesses are eligible. (i.e. individual, shopping centers/malls, apartment complexes, service stations, fast food chains, car dealerships, banks, military installations, hospitals, schools.)
- Members of the Business, Industry & Governmental Agencies Committee are responsible for locating and selecting a business for this award.
- Selection is based on the business's ability to control trash; clean loading docks; efforts to provide public trash receptacles; having knowledge of and abiding by litter ordinances of the community; beautification efforts through building construction, repair or landscaping and its recycling efforts.
- Awards are presented on a quarterly basis, typically by a City Council representative and the business site is posted with the "Hampton Clean Business" award sign which is retained for thirty days.
