What can you and your neighbors do to help?

Education and awareness build momentum. We'll work closely with community leaders to bring UnLitter Us to ground level, showing you and your neighbors specific ways to do away with litter and keep it away--especially in areas that need improvement most. We’ll build on small neighborhood successes to create success citywide.

UnLitter Us Presentations

We'll attend meetings and events in your community to promote anti-litter behavior and discuss all the different kinds of litter and how to reduce them. Request a presentation by calling (215) 871-0400.

Litter Free Zone Programs

We hope to add to the number of community groups already committed to keeping their "zones" clean. Each success leads to another, and all will be recognized for their efforts.
