Litter Prevention...through Education and Action

Research and experience prove that litter — intentional or unintentional pollution resulting from consumer waste products being carelessly handled or improperly disposed — attracts more litter. A clean community, by contrast, discourages littering and raises local living standards and quality of life.

Action:  Adopt A Street Program

Local individuals, organizations or businesses can "Adopt-a-Street" in their neighborhood.  It's a fun way to keep your area litter-free and help our community at the same time.

Report a Litterbug Hotline     

CALL   (256) 768- 2728

Tag Number       Where           No Name

The Florence Police Department is asking motorists to give them a call when you witness a litterbug.  You don't have to leave your name and can remain completely anonymous.  All we need is a tag number, where the incident occurred and it will be investigated by the Community Policing Unit. 


Action:  City-Wide Cleanup Event

The inaugural city-wide cleanup event began in May of 2009.  In our first event, we collected 7,260 pounds of trash. 

That includes 523 bags of litter, 84 tires, 25 pieces of furniture & 27 appliances.
