Mission Statement

The Litter-Free Long Beach Program is designed to expand awareness on the impacts of litter, build community pride, as well as develop support and participation in keeping Long Beach Litter-Free. In addition to creating safer and healthier neighborhoods, clearing our streets of litter also ensures our storm drains are free of debris and support a safe ocean ecosystem. Our campaign not only focuses on participating in clean-up events but also educates residents on the impacts of litter and how we can be a part of the solution for change. Litter is not just a local concern but a greater global issue. However, as a coastal city, we have a responsibility to safeguard our marine environment and lead the global wide effort towards a cleaner and safer future for all species. In Long Beach we appreciate every effort made towards keeping our city Litter-Free!

Description

Litter-free LB began in 2005 as a multi-faceted program to get all stake-holders involved in the City’s litter issue. A General Awareness campaign was developed consisting of:

  • www.litterfreeLB.org
  • Advertisements
  • Boulevard Banners
  • Reusable Bags
  • Truck Signs
  • Bus Shelter Posters
  • Library Posters
  • PSAs
  • "No Advertising" Doorhangers

*Long Beach businesses and organizations can volunteer as a group.*

*Group volunteering at a Long Beach clean-up event is a great activity for business owners, managers and employees to come together and foster a team spirit.*
