About
We partner with localities in the region to promote litter prevention.
The goals of the campaign are to:
- increase awareness of litter and its negative impacts in the community,
- build knowledge about litter prevention strategies, and
- encourage action through participation in public clean-up opportunities.
The Campaign welcomes businesses and organizations as campaign partners who share the vision of a litter-free Central Virginia. Join our effort to dump the financial and environmental costs that come with litter by taking the pledge, becoming a campaign partner, or sharing toolkit resources.

Toolkit for Sharing
We meet quarterly with Litter Managers and organizational partners from across the region to learn more about the pressing litter challenges they are tackling.
We create digital media assets that speak to these important tips, issues, and alternative actions to use for sharing.
