Since 2006 the Mayor’s Litter Committee has collaborated with neighborhood groups, schools, churches, businesses, City leaders, and City staff, to reduce litter that is strewn about our streets, sidewalks and alleys. The goals of the Litter Committee include:
- Recruiting a reliable pool of volunteers for neighborhood cleanups
- Educating children and adults about the impact of litter on our environmental
- Enlisting support from the business community
