Our next clean-up is happening tomorrow, SATURDAY, MAY 10TH, 2025 from 9:00am to 11:00am. Join us at 1518 E. 4th St, Long Beach, CA, 90802, for a neighborhood clean-up! We'll have trash pickers, safety vests, bags and gloves available for volunteers to support with litter collection in the surrounding area. All participants must sign safety waiver.

Our city’s current litter abatement campaign gives residents and businesses alike an opportunity to take an active role in fighting one of our communities toughest battles: keeping our streets and alleys free of litter and debris. In addition to creating safer and healthier neighborhoods, clearing our streets of litter and debris also ensures our storm drains are free of litter, and support a safe ocean ecosystem.

We appreciate every effort made in keeping our City Litter-Free!

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!

  • Truck Signs
  • Bus Shelter Posters
  • Library Posters
  • PSAs
  • "No Advertising" Doorhangers
