What is the City of Edmonton doing to combat litter?
City Council feels strongly about reducing litter in Edmonton and has implemented a litter reduction and prevention program called Capital City Clean Up. The program has three main components – substantially more street cleaning and litter pick up in business districts, major roadways and entrances to our city; a volunteer component for residents and businesses to help out; and a comprehensive public education plan aimed at litter prevention. The City of Edmonton believes that litter reduction and prevention needs to be seen as not just a municipal responsibility, but a shared responsibility with the community-at-large.
