Today, we're celebrating impact you can see! ๐
The MDOT Inmate Litter Program is a partnership thatโs making a massive, visible difference across our state. A collaboration between MDOT & participating counties, supervised inmate crews work diligently to clear litter from our state-maintained highway systems. While MDOT provides essential gear (such as safety vests, gloves, and bags), itโs the dedication of our local Sheriffโs Departments that keeps the program wheels turning. ๐ฎ
We are incredibly proud to highlight these departments for their impressive performance with recent efforts:
๐ Carroll County Sheriffโs Department
Sheriff Clint Walker and his crew earned a 2nd place plaque for collecting an incredible 4,979 bags of litter along highways between July 2024 and June 2025. Thatโs a lot of hard work, and we appreciate their support!
๐ Itawamba County Sheriffโs Department
Kudos to Sheriff Mitch Nabors and his diligent squad for their work in keeping our roads clean, too! Theyโve quickly risen through the ranks to secure 2nd place in District 1, proving their commitment to a litter-free Northeast Mississippi.
๐ Pontotoc County Sheriffโs Department
A huge round of applause for Sheriff Leo Musk and his team! They recently swept two first-place awards, a statewide "Exemplary Performance" award from Keep Mississippi Beautiful (@KeepMSBeautiful) and the MDOT District 1 award for "Outstanding Performance," which Northern Transportation District Commissioner John Caldwell commemorated last week at a Pontotoc County Board of Supervisors meeting.
A cleaner Mississippi is a safer, more beautiful Mississippi we can all enjoy. Please join us in thanking these departments for their hard work and leadership toward that goal! ๐

Singer and vintage vibe queen Lana Del Rey (@honeymoon) inspired today's DMS board with her eternally catchy song lyrics. ๐ถ
Why? 'Cause those food wrappers in the median really do give us that "Summertime Sadness". 'Cause taking a "Ride" on our state highways shouldn't be a journey through trash piles ๐, and we want to keep Mississippi looking "Young and Beautiful". Most importantly, "'cause you and I, we were born to" put litter where it belongs! ๐ฏ
