Join the League!
Engage with your environment and meet like-minded people across Allegheny County who know how to have fun while tending to the land.
The Litter League, presented by Geotechnics, invites neighbors and colleagues to compete against each other in a season of litter-collection challenges. Every team will receive video tutorials and hand-made, all-weather litter collection kits so that they can collect individually or in groups.
Each week, members of the Allegheny CleanWays & Friends of the Riverfront crew will introduce creative and enjoyable challenges that promote responsible stewardship and strategies to “do more good.”
Winning teams will receive prizes from some of the region’s premier environmentally conscious businesses.
