Resuable Pocket Ashtrays                   Bar Butt Beautification

The streets outside select downtown bars were cleaned, and butts were sorted and counted before and after receptacles were put in place. This initiative has yielded a 58% reduction in butts thrown on the sidewalks in the area of the bars. In addition, one of the bars, Hoops, has created very nice landscaping around their butt receptacle.

Adopted Blocks Blocks by District.



"One a Day" Program  

One a Day is for all of you who want to make a difference but do not have hours to give to the effort.  All we ask is that you commit to pick up at least ONE piece of litter everyday or "One a Day."  It only takes a few seconds and makes a big difference.  This nonverbal message that is sent to people is much more powerful than words. Contact us and let us know you are participating.  Also, once you develop the habit, invite others to come to the website and sign up.
