A few words from

Litter Committee Chairman

STEVE PIERZ

vision


From Good to Great! We will be awarded the cleanest city in the United States, and other cities will come to Peoria to see how we did it.

mission


"Pick Up Peoria!" We are an inclusive group, made up of citizens, neighborhoods, and businesses throughout Peoria that coordinates the prevention as well as the cleanup of human-generated litter within the city. We work with the city, the state, the schools, the neighborhoods, the community, businesses, churches, and the parks to identify and eliminate the sources of human generated-litter in an efficient and effective manner. We are positive change agents that coordinate and leverage the efforts of Peoria citizens, the city and civic organizations so we can all live in, work in, and play in a clean, litter-free city.
