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.
Action: Florence
Police Department Anti-Litter Campaign
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.
